How hard is the 2001 tiburon suspension compared to say a corvette or dodge viper?

well i've never driven in a viper or corvette so I don't really have a base for comparison. But over all I think the suspension is sporty enough as it is but also forgiving enough to be comfortable.

I heard that the suspension for the tiburon was co-designed by porsche.

The tiburon's suspension is considerably softer than a Vette or Viper. As a dealer to take a test drive in a used 1999 or newer vette, and you will see what I mean. (getting a test drive in a viper would be a tad harder).

Leave it to Random to Needlessly complicate things.

The suspension design is rather remarkable, but the springs themselves suck really bad. Those things bounce like hell!<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
