Interesting that at this time 50% have Z51 which is the limit that has put on them by GM. An interesting question would be would you have gotten Z51 if the availability was the same as other suspensions.

Interesting. Of course, this forum is probably biased towards the 'enthusiast', so has the potential to at least underestimate the numbers of base suspensions out there.

Twice as many Z51's to F55's? Did constraints skew this more?

The F55 is the magnetic ride option and it has a **** on the center console to select the ride so this would be one way of finding out, the other would be to ride in it - the Z51 of course can be told by the crossdrilled rotors

Im actually surprised there are more base models then F55 - would have expected it to be Z51, F55, and base last
