F55 Upgrade?
The Car & Driver review of the C6 mentions that the difference between Tour and Sport in the F55 will be more noticeable than the current version. I suppose an upgrade would involve swapping circuit boards in the BCM or the like? Well, not circuit boards, but reprogramming or...? Worth watching.

It's possible that their are mechanical differences as well such as valving in the shocks.
I'm glad that the Z-51 does not have it. It would add cost and I wouldn't want to pay to replace those shocks when they wear out. The C5 Z-51 suspension is great. It's not harsh at all. I hope the C6 Z-51 suspension will have the same tuning.

I think there is an inherent weight addition with the mag shocks that they did not want to include in the Z51 performance package. Hope they work that out, the demo on the mag shocks is really impressive. Any of you have them?
