Default Selective ride

I'm confused about the selective ride. Does the Z51 and the base car have the same controls to adjust the ride? Sport, track, or normal ride? There are some posts that lead me to believe the ride can't be adjusted on the base car. Thanks

The ride can only be adjusted with the magnetic shocks which are only available with the Z51. The other adjustments control the steering, trans if A6, and throttle, which may be the same in stock and Z51

Great fun to feel ride and whole personality of car change with combination of Z51, MSRC and perf exhaust.

The panhandle of Northwest Florida has pretty nice roads but I can really tell the difference in "Touring" and "Sport". Much softer rider with the touring.
My $.02 worth.

HUGE difference in ride quality and comfort with the FE4. "T" is soft and compliant. "S" is a notch stiffer with respect to compression and rebound and "Tr" is very firm and definitely geared for the track.
I generally drive around in "S". IMO, having FE4 is the best of all worlds. The ride in "T" is more comfortable than my GT-R's in "C"(omfort) or my GT500 in "N", with the ability to dial it up.

When I ordered my car it was like walking down the isle at my local grocery store! I was grabbing practically every option on the "shelf" and throwing it in the "cart"! Can't wait to have all the available tools to experience the C7 to the fullest!
