Rodney, based on what I'm reading, it looks like you drove 300 miles to buy your first Corvette. You've got to punctuate, brother.

My '16 without rides is better than my previous C6 with. However, it's my understanding GM improved the mag ride system in the C7's. I haven't had the opportunity to find out though.

I had a base c7 stingray without magride and it rode very smooth. My c7 z51 without magride was a different story and was quite a lot rougher. My current C7, z06 with magride is by far the smoothest of them all with magride in touring mode.

So to the OP, yes a base stingray without magride can be a smooth riding vette. Congrats on the c7!

I'm amazed how smooth my GS rides in Sport Mode. Rides so nice I haven't even tried it in the other modes. But I'm used to driving much older Corvettes.
