2003 C5 with Z51
Looking at a 2003 with Z-51 pkg. to possibly buy as my first Corvette. Looking on line at present, and car looks perfect for me except wondering about suspension?? Driving will be weekend cruizin, listening to engine, going thru gears
I have driven a base 2000 C5, and an 02 w/ the select a ride on the "softest?" setting. Both approx. 25-50 miles. Do you think ride will be to stiff/rough with the Z-51 pkg. Want something fairly smooth and will not be using on track. What about comfort of the seats that come with the Z-51? Thanking you for all suggestions/comments.

I believe this IS the general section....
My MY is a 6 sp, Z51 equipped car, and I think it rides okay. It's not a soft comfy ride, you feel the road. It IS a sports car after all....I have no regrets.
