In my opinion, GM killed the suspension game in the 2010s and 2020s (so far) and produced some of the greatest bang-for-the-buck performance cars that drive equally well on the street and on the track - think Camaros, Corvettes, and Blackwings.

The Alpha chassis is quality, sure, but the biggest reason these cars drive so flat and can easily handle a wide range of road conditions is their magnetorheological dampers. If you haven’t driven one, it’s quite something - makes most adaptive suspensions feel inadequate.

At a time where performance cars are getting stiffer and stiffer (BMW I’m looking at you), why haven’t more OEMs implemented magnetic ride control to get the best of both worlds?
