OMG, dude...
Yes, I suppose it's possible.
I know I've sat on the side of the track and marveled at how guys could drive cars around that were obviously f-ed up, albeit very rare...
Likewise, I've driven next to cars on the freeway that were obviously suffering from a horrible spring/shock setup. Usually speaking, if the car in question rolls over an unsettling expansion joint or imperfection in the road and it takes another 50-100 yards or so for the chassis to sort itself out... that's usually a bad sign, mmmkay. A good example would be larger trucks (torsion bars cranked up) with blown shocks tend to bounce for a good 100 yards or so after a bad expansion joint.

I'm betting on little discernible difference with potentially some nod towards
the Ohlins(if they're valved properly). They're a kick *** shock company, no two ways about it. But the devil is in the details. If Ryan's right->the Tracksports suffer not from lack of tuning expertise, but from the limitations of the twin-tube dampers. The Ohlins should not suffer that fate.
