The yanks also like a softer ride. EveryChev SS review comments on the stiff ride and how it may be a problem for some. The SS gets the same suspension tune as the Redline here. They are quite surprised by it.

To be honest I think the yanks have got this right. They trade a little handling for a better balanced setup in the real world.
