Let’s see if they fixed this.
Holy crap it was so bad. Riding on the bump stops like 75% of the time. Bounce bounce bounce. If anyone needs to understand how bad this was, watch this video and keep an eye on fixed horizontal objects like bridges and road signs:



And the worst part was the rear end. Man, if you loaded the car up in a corner and hit a mid corner bump, you got some serious old school 911 behavior from the rear end. Crap, it did some SCARY stuff and we're talking like .5 - .6 g of cornering load, nothing crazy.
