My C7 has no mag ride. My 2019 ZL1 has mag ride. I see no difference, but roads pretty smooth here in Texas.

If I'm not going to track the car and have no issues with the Z51 (FE3) ride, I will most likely pass on the FE4 mag.

How an Aggie checks the wind direction .................

Color looks so much better in the sunlight. Chevy needs to really overhaul the visualizer.

Congratulations on the new C8!!

I've had some good experiences with Capital Chevy.

I'm in Austin, maybe I'll see you driving around.

I was originally thinking I would get the high wing and then I wasn't sure. And now I really like it again. Car looks really good, glad you are enjoying it.

How is the Z51 without mag compared to a C7 Z51 or C6 Z51 without mag ride? I currently, drive a 08 coupe with Z51 (no mag) and plan on ordering the C8 Z51 without mag ride. The C6 Z51 ride is just fine for me, hoping the C8 will be even better!

Thanks in advance!
The ride is better than my 2019ZL1 with mag ride.
