Default Attn: Chevy Customer Service - ride question

Customer Service - can you ask the Corvette Engineers which of the following equipped Corvettes should have the smoothest ride.

1) The base Vette without the Z51 package?
2) The Z51 and MRC equipped Vette with the MRC on the softest setting?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

At the April seminars last year at the museum the comment was made that the base suspension was the softest riding setup. I concur and a main reason I bought the base.

Hi Bgmail,

I will be more than happy to ask. If you want to PM me with your questions, that is the fastest way to get a hold of me.

I will not have an answer until next week due to the holiday.

Have a great weekend,

Glen,

Did you notice any difference in the ride between the stock tires and your new ones?

Thanks

It all depends on how smooth the roads you drive on are.

nope....but nittos are quieter....I have been in a Mag z51 set on soft...mine is softer and still handles fine....again, the forums love to morph out of control...the base suspension is fine in every situation I have put it in, in 3500 miles....and yes, even around some really nice ( sporty) roads in Tennessee a few weeks ago...
