Harsh critics on Sport chassis and Sport chrono
Just read the article from french mag Flat 6, a mag devoted 100% to the brand, I usually don't buy it, EVO is much much better but they tested the 20mm sport chassis so I was v. interested.
And the outcome is not great although I'd like Sergini and RC to verify because it sounds extreme.
Good point is fantastic on track, and indeed faster than a 996 GT3 Mk1 which is impressive.
BUT bad point is on the open road, extremely rigid chassis, very uncomfortable and even dangerous on bumpy countryside roads as the car can move half a meter sideways on small holes because the chassis is so rigid.
I personally find that hard to believe, but maybe it's true.
Anyone who's driven the car w/ Sport chassis, is it really THAT uncomfortable on open roads?
Thanks for the input.
Also, the guy did mention something about the sport chrono which sounds quite useless:
The chronometer option, apparently, on the track, you have to press it twice per lap! Once to stop the first lap and a second time to start the second lap, well, you've already lost half a second by doing that plus just doing this probably makes you lose another second of concentration.
Is the journo right or not?
And finally, a harsh critic of the sport chifter, the guy said he thinks it's bad because even when hot, although the throws are shorter, it's harder to change gears and as a result, slower, what do you guys think?
I want to believe this guy is full of it, just wanna hear your own experience, thank and sorry for the long post.
Cheers.

Unless you intend to track race the car or you just love a rock hard ride all of the time ,i reckon PASM is the way to go.If not buy a GT3
