Default Z06 vs Z07

As you are aware the Z07 Performance Package is an option for the 2015 Corvette Z06.

Back in April at the NCM Bash there was informal discussion with one of your suspension engineers about the Z07 and the fact that it has a stiffer suspension than the base car.

None of the information presented by GM about the Z07 at that time discussed this fact.

Q1. Can you elaborate on the Z07 suspension differences compared to the base car?

Q2. How can we judge the differences expected in the ride of the Z07 car vs the base car re: a street only car, and what would you say are those differences.

Yes I have.
I brought this information to the forum last May.
I would like to have Tadge comment on the questions.
I also noticed Tadge that you indicated that "your" Z06 build would not have the Z07 option....why?


The problem you have Tadge is that the information on your corvette ordering Web page and elsewhere is inadequate to fully explain to potential buyers just what the suspension differences are and what expect in ride quality as a result of selecting the Z07 option.
Please update the info about this option to make very clear what a buyer is getting.

Thanks!
