It is true, a new car will always feel better than a used car, but... like I said, unless your a Josh or Dave... certain chassis will feel better to you. IMO.
Actually the point I was trying to make is that it's ESPECIALLY guys like Josh and Dave who'll notice the difference between cars. I've been running long enough that I could build two IDENTICAL CARS, set-up exactly the same, have somebody else put the bodies on, and run 'em twice. you could switch the bodies to try and trick me, but I could still tell ya which car was which.

You could take the entire suspension off the car I'm runnin' this year, put it on my chassis fom last year, and I'd know the difference. Anything with Foams has enough bite and consistency to tell you things like that while driving.
