Default Interesting thing

So, it's windy here in Virginia Beach today. Crosswinds on the freeway with the car in Normal mode were giving that normal expected push on the car that were all used to. I've never really experienced high crosswinds in my GS yet and noted that the push was pretty good. Enough to have to tweak the steering wheel to keep the car better in the lane. Just for kicks, I put it in Sport+ to see how it'd act with the suspension cranked up a little.

Solid. Noticeably more solid.

Much less action on the car from the wind.

It really means nothing in the end other than confirming to the world that a stiffer suspension might just deal with wind better. More than anything, I liked having the ability to manipulate the ride on the fly.

That's awesome! It's good to know that you can adjust the suspension on the fly from a soft setting to a stiffer setting.

It also might have helped that the steering stiffens up considerably when the car is in Sport S+ mode.

This is a true statement.

Ha you right about that I was coming across the monitor Merrimack on 664 and love how the car stays planted... with the few upgrades I have done... the ride is still great and she reall handles like a performance car...
