how. how have the Germans still not mastered how to keep a chassis from doing an impression of wet paper towel?
It's kind of a weird outlier problem. Regular 981 Caymans don't have the problem. Have only seen one GT3 have it happen, and a lot more 991 GT3's were made than 981 GT4's. But there's been 4 or 5 confirmed cases of the failure for the 981 GT4, even though only about 2000 were made.
One theory is that there isn't enough bump travel in the suspension as implemented on the GT4. So some full compression events fully compress the bump stops too and smash into the strut tower housing. Apparently that housing is reinforced on the Clubsport GT4.
