Thanks, and I agree. I think it was a huge advantage to drive the cars back to back and over two full days rather than in isolation. In isolation the 3.8 and 4.1's suspension feels great, and the torque of the 4.1 is initially almost overwhelming, but back to back with the 4.0 you get a much more nuanced picture. It will come down to personal preference, so I tried to communicate as much of that as possible to let people decide for themselves.
