[Shotimes] Gen 3 SHO's, I have to admit this...

[Ron Porter]

IMHO the SARC "off" is too stiff for anything but smooth roads. You can also
lose cornering capability without some compliance on the typical Midwest
road.

I'm sure this is the reason that the Cobras have had softer springs/shocks
than the GT, and they handle better.

SARC struts are great as long as they are disabled.  (I left the VAPS as is)
