1. Wheel size (19s vs 20s)
2. Tire sidewall spec and type
3. EDC setting
4. Variability in road conditions
5. Tire pressure
6. Age and condition of suspension components
7. ZCP suspension vs non-ZCP suspension (roll bars, spring rates and damper rates differ)
8. Differences in subjective feel when sitting in the driver vs passenger seats.
9. Rear spring compression due to weight of dead hooker in trunk
10. Coupe having different spring rates to accommodate lighter weight

I was enjoying the technical facts until I came across the dead hooker in the trunk. Now the explanation makes complete sense!
