Significant traction improvement on hard launch and able to get onto throttle a little harder in mid turn.
Also, "comfortable" was touring mode for me on the street. Now I use sport and it's more compliant than touring used to be, yet the car seems flatter still under all g loads forward/back/side to side
Unfortunately this is all subjective as I'm not a track guy

Maybe improved handling but I don't really test those limits.

I just install one on my Z07, only driven it around the block so can’t say for sure yet. I pulled it from my 2017 Grand Sport without Z07 and it was a night and day difference on that car combined with the alignment.

I had Abel do my DSC Alignment I feel my suspension is too soft with the DSC controller in everything but track mode so I will be working with modifying some of the settings to firm up the feel. Eco/tour are too plush, sport feels just right until I want to drive “sporty” and track feels good all the time but the exhaust flaps don’t close in track while cruising so you get that extra noise when you are just wanting to cruise.

I have the DSC in my Z07. I bought it and was debating selling the car after 1000 miles cuz it was just too rough. Got the DSC in and now I daily my Z07. Far less brittle and feels much more composed. Driving in the rain doesn't even bother it anymore. If you live in the Seattle area I would be happy to take you for a ride.

I will be able to chime in on this pretty soon. My 16 Z07 goes to Weapon X next Saturday for performance mods including the new DSC version 4 I bought from Katech. I think it will be the first DSC Weapon X has installed.
