What kind of ride can i accept with the Z51 package without the selective magnetic ride?
Sometimes i think the magnetic selective ride is a too much option in the sence of why do you want a soft ride? After all it is a sports car.
Are their C8 owners who have experience with this?

The car without Magride is a compromise like others say. They say it handles well but doesn’t beat you up. I prefer Magride myself as I can use sport mode the majority of the time where it’ll handle like a sports car. However when traveling down a rough highway tour suspension softens up the ride so you don’t feel every bump. This way the wife sleeps and doesn’t realize how fast we go🤣

The non adjustable suspension is always going to be a compromise....its not adjustable. So its been designed and tested to perform best on a particular road or track surface.
The magnetic ride suspension can perform at its peak on multiple surfaces. The soft setting will perform incredibly in wet and on tracks like Sebring that have gigantic bumps that can toss a tightly sorung and damped car over three feet in a turn ( seriously). You get good wheel articulation over bumps.
In its stiffest setting you get maximum body control for smooth tracks.
Mag ride is probably the second feature of the c8 after its mid engine chassis that makes this car great imo there's a reason its licensed by Ferrari
