Thanks, your response is the paradigm that Koni is trying to overcome! At risk of sounding like paid advertisement (which unfortunately I am not) what if you could have increased handling and a better ride? Porsche obviously thinks there are buyers since they went to the expense to develop the PASM system using computers to control the dampers. However these may not be attractive to the used market buyer having to potentially spend large amounts to maintain these systems. The FSD is able to make internal adjustments based on the frequency of the event, And makes this technology available for our generation cars. Do you give up race car handling? The Vodafone McLaren F1 racing team apparently didn't think so as indicated in the attached. And if it was good for the McLaren F1 team I'd think it would be sufficient for me.
