Cool, to the above posts!

Alright, I saw a nice car next to me today, as I was approaching the service road entrance to the Van Vyck from college point, and There are some really BAD hills. Any faster then 35MPH with a lowered suspension, and you are asking to buttom out the car with the bump, not even including the sharp downside after each one.

Then I see a ML63 AMG, and its taking the bumps at the same speed. And each time, its taking these things like a champ, like NOTHING.

It takes the bump, throws the car up slightly, and its a smooth landing down really level, none of this front end sinsk to the ground .2 seconds later, then the back, its almost like its glided down softly in about 1-2seconds.... which makes me feel like thats the PERFECT type of suspension. Its a VERY fast truck, I mean NA V8 6.2liter, putting around 500HP. But it has a sport suspension.

I wish I could do something like that, not have the car go up fast and go down real fast.... I mean yeah its nice, but annoying as hell if you get what I mean.

LOL I cant have it both ways with this car, now can I!!!! :(
