Question Info & Discussion on OEM Suspension

Beside tires & brakes, suspensions should one of the key components with cars, or i many cases, it's the suspension design with our P-car which makes it much better in it's handling cmparing to other sport cars. However, I see very little discussion about our Porsche suspension design, and how it is being more advance and better in it's engineering.

Let's take away the PASM factor, can we all share what and why you think our Porsche better than other cars?? Or maybe you can share with us on your knowledge and educate us our P-car suspension design.

Thanks

I think that while the suspension design obviously contributes to the Porsche's handling qualities, the factory's attention to detail in maintaining the car's overall balance (in as much as a rear-engine car can be) and managing the 911's overall weight and mass are also major factors in how well the car reacts to the driver's inputs. The Cayman, with it's similarly designed suspension, is arguably a better handling car due to its mid-engined design and lower weight.
