Dude, Trust me, I can! As well as bumpy ones - which is the test I put
forward for both test vehicles...

I might not have the S4 for much longer if it doesn't perform as well...it's
not as comfortable to drive, either - I prefer the Coupe...

I *do* realize that everyone does have a point with the independent rear vs.
the solid rear axles, but from experience, I have a different opinion...ask
the M3 driver who *freaked* out and almost lost control on a curve where I
came up on him travelling at least 3 times posted speed, and twice his...

AND I *agree* that it is old technology, but very durable (also, cheaper to
maintain) and effective!! Everyone is welcome to take a ride in it if you
like!! (I've got vinyl seats, rubber floor covering, for the ones who might
lose some of their body fluids enroute)

I'm not making false claims...Eric verified that the platform is reasonable
when packaged properly...

The car is almost past it's lifespan anyway (320k+mi), and so is this thread,
so let's it die...I don't feel like constantly defending my car, which I aim
to do indefinitely if need be...

1986 Chevy Caprice, which my mechanics cannot believe is that old and with
such high miles (If you take car of your cars, they will reward you in the
end!!)
