Default Body roll??

I would like to hear from the track rats. Is it me, or is there a lot of body roll in the non Z07 package Z06. I haven't driven a Z07 package so I can not speak of how that reacts around corners. Pictures are from COTA. I feel like the body is rolling side to side to much. I'm not a veteran, so any input appreciated.

I have a Z07, I'm more than satisfied with the amount of body roll. That said the Z07 is something like 62% stiffer front and 30% rear.

Yup the suspension is pretty soft. If you search, there are some threads about converting FE6 to FE7 suspension, but the DSC sport module and Tractive DDA dampers are now available - so that's the route to go.

It gets much worse on slicks
