Except for "spirited" twisty mountain driving, I leave my setting on the softest "Tour" selection. I can definitely tell a difference if I switch it all the way over to "performance". It really make the shocks much stiffer. If I was to order a new Vette, I would pass on this option. I'm basically a "cruiser"!

I have the F45 option. IMHO it's OK but not a requirement. If you want to upgrade to the F55 the car would have to have had F45 originally. If you want to edit the otion out later you can and just run regular shocks.

F45 is cool if you do average to a little above average driving. I do miss being able to put the car in tour and within a second or two notice all the bumps on the freeway melt away. I usually kept my car in performance but it was nice to be able to soften up the road for comfort or a date...
