MUST WATCH: DSC Sport Controller Video - C7 Z06 Owner (Previously with MRC Update)
All,
This video just went live on the DSC Sport Youtube channel. This video captures the differences in experience following the DSC Sport Alignment + DSC Sport Module. This C7 Z06 previously also had the MRC Update.
Enjoy!

So, these cars from the factory are set up all wrong. Do the Chevy engineers know this? Question! I do not track the car or perform any other race type functions. However, I may put my foot in it on very rare occasions. Should I be concerned? I just have a hard time understanding all of the issues with these cars that give you the impression that the Chevy engineers are incompetent. As I read through the forum I get the- Chevy should have done this or they did this wrong, sheez. Surely, the Chevy engineers that designed the car have got to have a better grip on the car than some of the posts on this forum lead you to believe. So these after market guys know more about the car than the engineers that designed it!

GM did a fabulous job designing a world class chassis. The problem is they come out of the factory with TERRIBLE, EMBARRASSING non-symmetrical alignments. Additionally, GM did not spend the money or time capitalizing on what the magnetorheological shocks have to offer when you utilize the NUMEROUS available data points as DSC did with their controller.
DSC has developed what is basically an active suspension which completely transforms the handling characteristics of the car. DSC realized GM did not take advantage of what was possible and provided it to us. I believe GM realized they dropped the ball but that ship had already sailed. To try and make up for their shortcomings they revised the OEM calibration tables. Apples and oranges when compared to the DSC controller. Revised table DO NOT offer what is available from DSC.

What is DSC asking for the correction?

Then why would anyone spend the $350 dollars GM is asking. Sounds like they screwed up on that too. Or, are you saying you need to do both. If so, I would say Chevy F’ed up pretty bad. Makes it sound like the car is not safe or something.

You cant do both. The DSC is a complete replacement module which turns the passive shocks into active shocks, and is fully able to be customized/fine tuned by the end user if wanted. In addition, there are other nice things like a launch mode incorporated into the DSC unit. There are a couple 500+ post threads on it that I encourage you to search for and read. It was the first mod I did to mine, and well worth the money IMO

Show me the data. DCS vs GM cal. Who has got data?
To truely appriciate capability of the car u have to take it to the track and push it really hard. This guy is driving it regularly on the street and he is blown away. To me this is all subjective until I see data.

I will be hitting Summit Point Main again in September. My last track day was a few months ago. I will report back with the data. There are plenty of other members like HiPo that have the data.

We already spent a lot of time writing it up, least you can do is use the Search feature to find it.

Wow great video it is that transformative the DSCsport controller just lets you max the grip by leaving the low speed damping so soft its really the opposite of stock rather than get stiff and blowing the tire off. You have to drive it to experience it. The only way to make the car better is to add our Tractive dampers that feature a full range shimmed piston. So you get all the benefit of a race damper and an MRC damper
Plus the smoother tour setting is real nice on horrible roads.

'16 M7 Z. Not one who tracks but do drive very hard thru curves & accelerate hard up to 100 mph at times. I had the DSC Street/Occasional Track alignment done & WOW! The HUGE difference in being able to put the power down & maintain dead straight pulls is an incredible improvement. I got scared many times trying to do the full power pulls/shifts from a stop till got the alignment. I would start there first before deciding if you need more control thru either GM MRSC or DSC control box. JMO PS: FULL DISCLOSURE, I also did the MRSC after getting 4 new MPSS (worn to cords inside edges on frt. tires) & alignment.
