Configurator anomaly?
I was just configuring a C8 Z51 with Mag Ride on the “Chevy Build and Price” configurator. It will not allow both options. If I select Z51, then scroll down to “performance options”, it deletes Z51 when I add Mag Ride. I can get either Z51 or Mag Ride but not both? Is there any kind of restraint which could possibly preclude both? Maybe something related to the Performance Traction Mgmt software that is included when you select both Z51 and Mag Ride? I have never seen this before.

I found the same in testing the configurator, even the 2025 configurator.
I also Googled: "Is corvette magnetic selective ride control included in z51 package"
I guess the dealers can over-ride and add the Mag-Ride option. You need to add the cost. $1895
Best wishes. Have you look at cars already at dealerships. Good time to buy!

This is true. Selecting the non-Z51 mag ride will ask to remove Z51.
