In my opinion, no amount of stiff springs, heavy anti-roll bars, etc., is going to improve the overall dynamics of this very non-sporting truck enough to compete with the mighty X5.  |
No one is debating that the X5 will handle better, what's in quesiton is by how much better, and, I still contend that 90% of ALL X5 owners will NEVER come close to realizing the potential of the X5's handling, so why pay double to have it?
Consider also that a vast majority of X5's will always be driven on pavement and never see off road, while the percentages of Chevy's that see off road duty is significantly higher.
Bang for the buck and versatility, vs. handling prowess that is rarely realized, and status.
(keep in mind i own both before you flame me btw)
