 My Mom hates the 330 ride



My mom is visiting me from India and she was pretty excited for me for my new car. She liked the color and the interior and all that stuff.

Now came the ride. I took her for a ride and tried not to drive very hard. The ZHP as you know, you can pretty much feel all the bumps on the road.

She is like 'Why isn't this car smooth'.
I am telling her that: 'No this is the way the car is supposed to be'.
She says 'you paid 40K and you still do not have a smooth ride, your Honda is better'
I say 'You are paying for the performance'

Well, long story short. She is old school and could not understand after spending all this money why my ride is so bumpy.

As you get older, folks tend to go more for that luxoro landbarge-like ride, and foregoing the performance factor altogether. Why the h*ll do you see so many "gray hairs" driving huge Buicks, Cadillacs, Lincoln Town Cars, etc.?

I'd like to think I'll be driving something that rides like a Lexus GS400 when I get older.

I think the ZHP mafia are going to reject your Mom's application. Sorry.

I wonder how much stiffer the ZHP is compared to M3's and ZSP and non-ZSP/non-ZHP 3ers. It's definitely a noticeable difference compared to my dad's 300SE, but my roommate's '00 Xterra is maybe more jaw-shattering than my ride.

Yeah that is pretty funny, considering it is probably cheaper to make a car that isolates the road feel from the driver.

Throw on some soft mounts, mushy shocks and springs... hmmm sounds like a Buick.
