Default DSC Controller and Z07

Hi,

I have a 2019 GS with the Z07 package. I would like to get a smoother street ride in Tour mode. I do the occasional autocross but I'm OK with the current ride in Sport or Track. Will the DSC controller give me a noticeably smoother ride in Tour mode on the street?

Thanks,

MrHix

Yeah, out of the box mine was really soft and bouncy on a Z07/Z06. (all driving modes)
I actually had to set the virtual bump stops and stiffen all modes up quite a bit to keep the tires from rubbing when hitting small highway dips at cruising speeds.
The DSC tunes I have tried all seem to not react well to dampening sweeping dips when you are not driving aggressively.

It takes some work to dial it in where it's not so "bouncy" but it's really tunable so you can get it to where you want it with some work. (or maybe you like it the way it comes configured?)

Thanks, I just want to soften up the Tour mode a bit for long trips or grocery runs.

I bought a DSC V4. It’s a huge improvement over the stock controller. Significant improvement in Touring mode. Prior to purchasing it, I paid for the GM “update.” It softened Touring Mode at first but within 6 months it felt like a go-kart.

I haven’t spent time tweaking the latest download I got from DSC Sport. Does anyone know if there’s a place to find/download other C7 owner’s adjustments?

Anyone have a load they worked on and want to share?

So you have a Z07 Vette?
