That if you are street driving with the car in track mode and you hit a bump or pothole the cars suspension will be severly damaged. Could this be true, I've never heard it mentioned before.
B.S. With a capital B and S. Track mode is firm and, I suppose, could make tire damage more easy to accomplish but it is FAR from being so stiff that you are at risk for normal bumps and road issues. The sales guy is being dramatic.
