id agree.....if it were as drastic of a performance change as stated I have a feeling some uber race team with entirely to much money would already be tracking a prototype. For a lux ride I could see it........

Ive been given the guilt trip from the fiance guys. Since i dont have the cards excuse Samantha wants me to take her out tonight before i leave/go under the knife. Sry to bail but im sure you guys will understand.
About the cards.....ive been promised from the printing company that the new cards have been shipped. If i get them in time I will drop them off with either Grainger or Robin. If not Samantha might be able to mail Matt some.
Worst case senario ill make sure you guys have them for Big Eds. I really am sry about the delay in getting these out but the last month has been hectic to say the least.

Matt this type of suspension system will eventually have as much of an impact as disc brakes and ABS has. You heard it here first. 
Think about it. A system that "controls" spring rates like a God.
There isn't any rebound! Or springs. Incredible stability like that allows for very smooth weight transfers. Watch the part again where they go over uneven bumps. See how much weight shifting is going on with the Porsche? Imagine how unstable he would be if braking hard into a sharp turn with undulations in the track/road. The car would go in unsettled and you're being bounced around to boot. I don't know much about suspensions but it sure seems natural to me that being smooth and balanced is probably the best way to being fast.

Oh, I agree. Not to mention it'll probably take time to filter down to "ordinary" transport. 
Sorry man, gotta work - payback for the Dragon.
Besides, I think I'm going to try and find someone that's cleared their lenses already and beg them for the old OEM's to explore possibilities.
