He's a ride and handling engineer for GM, so he gets to design and play with some cool stuff. He also does a lot of track time with his job and his personal cars. He appears to be open to new technology as am I. If I could retain or improve my handling but get a better ride I would be interested. The car is going on Power Tour next year and being that I'm not a young pup anymore I like a nice ride.

One thing I haven't figured out about your systems; does the ride height and stiffness work hand in hand? In other words, if you backed off the pressures for Power Tour will it also lower the car height? I do like the idea of having both, the ability to back the pressures down to make the car ride soft for cruising, and then being able to adjust it back up for track use. Seems like the height moving around would wreak havoc with your alignment settings.
