Default Thanks to Jim Mero I can enjoy Magnetic Ride Control

I was not able to tell the difference between Tour & Sport modes until I got Jim Mero's module that recalibrated the Magnetic Ride Control. Now TOUR mode feels more precise and smooth. New SPORT mode provides better steering response & well, sportiness etc. Jim shipped the order to me immediately, the installation was straightforward and I am pleased. Gonna go out now for a ride on some twisties...

Good to hear. I, too, cannot feel any difference between tour & sport mode. I’ll have to put this on my list of things to do.

I just did this upgrade also. I am just loving it!!! It really makes the corvette experience much more enjoyable. You get a smooth controllable ride in tour mode, and with the turn of the dial, back to full sport mode! Jim was a great guy to deal with, he will take care of you!

I upgraded my 2010 ZR1 with the "new tour / Super sport" and the difference is incredible. Before the car could feel almost uncontrollable with sudden twitches in the steering wheel and skipping over bumps on the bad backroads, now its plantet and confidence inspiring. Its difficult to really convey the change it has made but somehow its almost feels like a new car, Im afraid my mileage will go up significantly 😁

On top of that Jim Mero is a very friendly person to deal with, always quick to reply to any questions and willing to share his experience with Corvette handling, I can highly recommend this upgrade 👍 In fact I would say if you only want to do one mod to your car this should be it, its the biggest bang for the buck you can get!

Jim did my 2011 ZR1 with the new Tour and Super Sport calibration and it's a different car. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to define the difference between Tour and Sport. The factory Tour mode was bone jarring on not so smooth roads. It still drives like a sports car (not a Cadillac) but much more compliant.

Hello phileaglesfan,

Based on your screen name, I am assuming you live near Philadelphia. We have two installers in your area, one is in Wernersville, Pennsylvania (Apex Auto Detail) and the second is in Cream Ridge, New Jersey (East Coast Supercharging. If you would like to have a module installed, I invite you to go to my website www.jimmero.com and fill out your information on my contact page. If there are any other questions I can answer, feel free to ask.

Thank you, Jim

Sounds good - thanks Jim. Once things get back close to normal & the wife removes the restrictions on mod spending I’ll be getting in touch

Just got mine installed this afternoon on my base centennial edition. All I can say is 'WOW!' and that doesn't do it justice. I could tell an immediate difference as soon as I started driving. No more dodging manhole covers or other small dips in the road anymore. Even if you have no plans to do any performance mods, this is a must-do upgrade if you have MRC.
