Not at all bud... the base suspension is pretty plush and will soak it up well!

I would say no but then again everyone hash a different definition of “harsh”. Best thing to do is test drive and see for yourself.

My 16 Stingray is up as well...on the fence about getting a GS and concerned about ride quality. My base Stingray rides so nice.

I have a 19 with the Z51 package & Magnetic ride control rides really nice love how tight & smooth the car feels. I have a manual & this is my experience with mine I love it.

I did a 9 hour drive few rest stops at the end of the year, don’t have the best back 20 years of roofing and I was surprised how I held up lol

I have a 2019 and the ride is quite compliant for a sports car.

HAHA, when I went from the ZL1 1LE to the 2019 Grand Sport the GS felt like a Caddy! It's all relative, but yeah I prefer the stiffer ride too.

Me too. I just don’t get why these guys complain about the stiff suspension. I love it. At least order the mag ride if you need to smooth it out in rough roads.

My 2019 Z06 rides pretty good for a sportscar, as good as a luxury type sedan of course not and why would you or anyone expect it to. It is designed for all out performance, and of course looks.Ride is such that when you take along a first time passenger they usually comment this rides pretty good better than I thought it would.

My Z51 does not have magnetic ride control and I don’t find it too stiff at all. It’s a high performance sports car and I want it to feel like it. I would not want it any softer.
