A variety of 996 based vehicles but at this level of sophistication they are intended primarily for racing in ALMS, ACO, FIA GT and Grand Am.

Can you elaborate?


c. true four-way adjustable (high/low compression and high/low rebound) front and rear;
e. 60 high speed compression adjustments, 35 low speed compression adjustments;
f. 14 high speed rebound adjustments, 55 low speed rebound adjustments;
So to paraphrase, four-way adjustable shocks with 14-60 settings per adjustment? Sorry to be pedantic, but that's rather different from a shock with 60+35+14+55 = 164 adjustments.

Thanks,
Steve

Can you elaborate on the nanotechnology involved?
