Higher end shocks like MCS/Penske/JRi/Ohlins/KW do this better than others, but on the opposite side of he spectrum the Viking Performance twin tube triple adjustable coilovers I have on my C5Z can me made to fee like a Cadillac on the street to a track car on rails in just a matter of clicks...and the Vikings are a fraction of high end setups.
It is 100% necessarily the case. I said “ideal for the track”. Go drive a real race car (i.e. a car with an overall setup ideal for the track) on the street as a daily and then tell me it is not hell.
