I own a 2017 GSF now but I just rented a 2018 M4 (Competition)

This GT-R also stumbled on banana peel even thought it's AWD!!! (Please forward directly to 5:30)

If you check closely, that GT-R's traction control was on R mode, not OFF!!! This also happened on my previous 2007 G35S when the road was wet or muddy and its T/C was ON!!! But, I didn't fail LUCKILY...

I decide NOT to buy a GT-R next year... Buy a Q60 RS400(baby GT-R) instead.

Owning two very new performance cars at the same time is not necessary and wasteful actually...

I'm still waiting my GSF's Ohlins aftermarket suspension due to very long lead time. I think I will be very happy on my GSF and new Ohlins for quite some time. (it should be very playful for the next several years...)

Until my GSF become much older and I become retired, then I can change to LCF or similar!!!

In addition I also can tune my wife's incoming Q60 to be nearly as fast as a stock GT-R!!!

I do NOT think 2018 M4(competition) feels sharper than my previous 2007 G35S with KW V3...

So let's see how far this Ohlins can go... I'm really looking forward to it!!!

The new Ohlins suspension was finally installed on my 2017 GSF yesterday.

The initial impression was very comfortable especially on low speed streets.

Now my Ohlins settings are 12F/14R. I think it's still a little soft. I will try 10F/10R later...

For high speed damping I think KW on my previous G35S was very good already but it did suffer stiff ride on low speed streets...

The much stiffer SWIFT springs also increase firmness on my GSF's steering which my GSF stock suspension lacked. It's not as firm as my previous G35S's but my GSF's steering provides more accurate, consistent and sharper steering feeling, OF COURSE.

I think KW V3 could be more hardcore than Ohlins... But, I will try the firmer settings on my new Ohlins to see how it hold up at high speed damping...

However Ohlins is more comfortable than KW on highways and MUCH more comfortable on local streets. So I think Ohlins would still be a better choice for daily drive...

PS: "KW is more brutal than Ohlins"... I think it's reasonable... because Germany are more hardcore than Sweden!!! (or Japanese are more hardcore than Chinese!!!)

Hardcore means "FORCE"...

I think Sweden more like to use their brains instead of "FORCE"!!!

I think KW ClubSport could be more brutal than Ohlins TTX... Both are designed for TRACKS excusively... But, more brutal doesn't always mean "FASTER"!!!

Today both my wife and I drove my GSF with new Ohlins suspension on the same mountain road where we drove M4 last year. We both confirm that now my GSF feels much sharper, more nimble and more confident than that M4.

Of course we still need to sacrifice some ride comfort to get this improvement. We both also confirm that the OEM suspension is actually very good already. But, Ohlins suspension really pushs my GSF handling and nimbleness to brilliant state. (one solid step further)
