im assuming you have never been to TWS or MSR-H then? because those tracks are anything but smooth

Specifically, a passive damping system is NOT constantly adjusting bounce and rebound to accommodate what it is thinks the driver wants. Some guys want to be able to adjust - or have the car automatically adjust - these settings mid-lap. I'm not one of those guys.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned and maybe semi-active (or active) damping systems have come a long way since the 997 PASM systems, but I'm not a fan.

I would say they have, quite a bit so in fact. The 991 suspension calibration with PASM was amazing.
