I find his comments about the ride quality to be out of proportion. Yes you will not mistake the ride quality in a GTR for that of a normal sedan but saying that you will need to consult a bone doc is wrong. I have recently driven some distamce in a stock GT2 Porsche and I thought that ride to be a bit harsher than my GTR in fact the owner agreed. What I would say is that the noise level over anything but a fast run up a hill and back can be........ distracting. Because of this I use a set of Bose noise attenuating headsets in the car and that really makes a difference. Just wanted to add this because those of you that have not ridden in an Ultima will be given the wrong impression by the remarks in this article. Lee

During my test drive with Ted, I didn't have the impression of harshness in the GTR. In all cases, my old back is used to stiff suspension. I think the most hardest I had was my previous Porsche 964RS and the 968CS wasn't far behind. OK both were set up for track use.

Not sure what the point of it is? Pretty poor article especially when the author hasn't actually driven the car!!

Another Porsche loving auto journo - who'd have thought ;-)

well what a load of tosh , I did 2 tanks of fuel last weekend at a big car weekender event taking loads of mates for "joy rides " and yep everyone was impressed with the speed and acceleration , but also the coment i also got every time was " wow isnt it comfortable " , " not as harsh as i thought it would be " and iv lost count the number of times iv fallen asleep in it at verious car shows and down time at sprints ,
