Given what I know about suspensions and what I hope to run in my own car I consider g/28's first suspension as on the lower end of the performance scale. That is just my own bias. In the real world (compared to what everyone has) it is in fact a performance suspension typical of what a VAST majority of people run on their car. Also, it was a huge performance gain over the stock stuff. So yes, to joe-public I would refer to it as a high-performance or performance-oriented suspension, but both of those terms are subjective.
Sorta like a 320hp crate motor.. to me it's a mediocer performance motor but if I was talking about it in the book in regards to someone swapping it into thier 250hp or such powered car I might refer to it as a High Performance upgrade. It's really all subjective except for the hard numbers.
Here I am speaking to most knowlegable people and I can inject my own biases. In the book I speak to a different crowd, many of which think a pro-street car is the ultimate in handling. lol
And your right Dennis, I only felt a bit dumber (that was a joke son..)
Actually I like critiques of my writing.. well, maybe like is the wrong word, but I certainly know that I have room for improvement so I appreciate feedback. Sorta took what you said as a comment towards my integrity and not my writing.
Anyways, not much more I can say on the matter.
