And they are the Latest and Greatest.

FK04 changed to C-hub from pivot ball. Car was better.
FK05 was almost entirely different, all batts on one side, and lower CG. Car was better.
T2 came out. Obvious changes to suspension geometry, as well as drive shafts. Car is better.
T2 007 came out with refinements to CG, Steering geometry, and multi flex. Car is better.

All the cars are STILL competitive. So, nobody NEEDS to ditch their current car and get the new one.

At least XRay doesn't sit back and think "Yeah we got it and we can't do better". They are constantly testing and trying to improve. whats wrong with that? Oh, and that doesn't come for FREE. They are in the Kit selling business you know. Seems like whatever they are doing is working pretty good for them, wouldn't you say?
