No one can use the full capabilities of an SS or GT on a public road let alone a ZL1 of GT500. BMW became a huge success because it is 'the ultimate driving machine'. Porsche has done pretty well world wide. Even the peoples car is Ring tuned. There are certainly other desirable attributes to these brands, but I wish the Big 3 had started Ring tuning 30 years ago.

A well designed suspension is enjoyed at ALL speeds. A cruise down the highway is more relaxed. An evasive emergency maneuver is safer. Your favorite twisty is more enjoyable. A well tuned suspension makes any car more enjoyable to own and drive every day.
