Harsh ride
#18
DSC is an device that replace your factory PASM ecu. U can google it on this forum.
My friend installed on his Turbo with factory suspension, it is more comfortable, and with DSC on sport mode, it improve the handling as well, more planted.
I'm running on Bilstein B16 coil over, it also made the car more comfortable, less stiff, given it is coildover.

I am shopping for a late model used 911. Test drove a 2014 S model yesterday and noticed that the ride is rough. The car did not have a list of the options on it so I could not pinpoint the reason for the harsh ride. Can anyone help with what would make the car ride harsh?

As noted above, check the options list on the cars that you test.
Sport pasm is stiffer than normal pasm. I felt it was too stiff for the junk that passes as roads in NJ
That being said, the 911 is a sports car, and is stiffly sprung and damped compared to most other sporty cars.

I would hardly classify a Maserati 2 door Grand Turisimo with a Ferrari V-8 that I got rid of 1 month ago as a family car. My other cars were a Corvettes and BMW's, also not family cars. I agree with the forum on the need to look into the tire pressure, tire size and the type of suspension of the cars I test drive.

"It’s interesting following John Barker, who’s in the 991, because although the Maser loses a bit of ground to the Porsche, it doesn’t seem to matter. It’s not a car for racing others in; instead you find the Italian’s natural (and still very quick) rhythm and settle there, taking the line of least resistance and enjoying the flow that it creates. In short, it does exactly what it says on the Pininfarina-sculpted tin; it’s a GT rather than a sports car, and that’s no bad thing."

It seems that GT was the softest of the group and that might be why you might be used to a bit more of softer suspension setup.

I'll add that some BMWs have a harsh ride and others do not. And again, when some folks who frequently drive sport-based BMWs drove my 911, they thought at first that it handled like a Toyota over bumps.
Im just saying that these cars can all have different setups. Not all handle/feel the same.
