C6 Zo6 going to be a harsh ride for a DD ?
Im looking to buy a C6 and love the bold wide looks of the Zo6 over the standard C6 .
Is the Z51 C6 a rough ride or just heavy sway bars ?
My current 99 c5 has road race hyper coil leaf springs and poly bushings and its fine for me , i just want to know how harsh it is before getting a Zo6 .
I dont mind a solid ride , just not a harsh one .
BTW: Looking for an 07 Zo6 in the 40k range in dark blue with black or graphite interior .

Any C6 with factory tires feels just fine on good roads, and any C6 with factory tires feels harsh on broken pavement.
There is a difference, the only way to quantify it is to test different models on YOUR roads.

Here is one of those different strokes for different folks things....my last C-5 had two tops..I never took the original top off..... so I wasted the cost of the smoke grey top. So not having a targa top on my Z is not a problem for me..........

BTW - back to the original post, how about a GS? Wide body with a bit softer suspension, and lower cost.

After reading and talking to ppl about the A6 tranny and being an auto guy for the last 10 years , i decided to go with the 6 speed but im not to go back to stroking gears in anything less than a z06 .
