NOT a GS, but my 08 z51 has a very comfortable ride on the highway. On a bumpy road it can feel a bit rough if a lot of suspension travel is required otherwise fine.

Ha! You think that is rough?? Try putting on Bilstein B8's and JOC sway bars and report back.
Actually, I prefer the chassis setup for handling. It transmits what's happening so much better. I didn't buy a performance car for it's cushy ride.

Suspension is stiffer. Track is wider so mine seems to be affected by ruts in the road more. Overall I'm fine with it.

I own a 2011 GS vert. Mine rode a little rough and was very noisy with the top down, especially on concrete. I replaced the GY runflats with Michelin non RFs and it now drives like a dream. Dramatic difference.

I don't find the ride in my 13 GS rough and I don't have the MSRC. May depend to some extent on whether you have the stock GY run flats. I found the ride improved when I switched over to the Bridgestone Potenzas Pole Position RF's.
I do have the MSRC on my CTS Vsport and it works great.

For a performance type car with tires a mile wide the ride isn't bad at all, in fact my Camry SE rides about the same. Any low profile car and especially tires, will ride like that, unless I'm mistaken, please advise if I am, any body??
