Is it a comfortable ride, or is it extremely UNcomfortable, noisy, etc?

Expressions like Wow, Unbelievable and I wish I brought another pair of underwear are the usual comments.

Most people find the seats fine - they are firm and provide decent support. The car has losts of leg room also.

My 06 is somewhat noisy, but not too bad unless you are getting on things a bit, but that is why you bought the car in the first place.

Tire noise is the only real knock I have. The firm ride is fine, depending upon the roads you are on can get on your nerves, but I never have a problem on decent roads.

Most are surprised I have no tickets. They come out of the car in awe! They truly feel it is the FASTEST car they've ever had a ride in. They are holding on for dear life when I take them through the twisties at 25-30mph above the posted speed.

When I slow down to drive normally, they say that it's not bad at all. They feel it rides decent and that it is comfortable. I go on to explain that if I took them for a ride like this that the Z would just be another car and they wouldn't see the point of paying $70K for a car like this. I make sure they get the most out of the experience.

Same here. Never had any complaints about ride comfort or noise. I drove from Sweden to Le Mans in the Z06 with a friend in the passenger seat. The total trip was ~3600 km (~2200 miles). The car proved to be not only very fast (we knew that) but also perfectly comfortable for long road trips.

The biggest problem I have taking car Guy "friends" for a Ride in the C6Z, is that they no longer become "friends" anymore However normal civilian passengers are scared to death when they land.

That is the reason I bought my Z06. I wasn't even thinking of it until I got a ride in the passengers side. That was one expensive ride, but well worth it!

I took my mother-in-law for a spin a few months ago when the Z was new. Now she is an English lady who served in WWII in the Royal Navy repairing radio's in naval aircraft. She is tough as nails and very spry for her 86 years young. She has owned several sports cars. She has always ragged on my corvettes and always put her Pcars up as 'better'.

We got into the car and off we went. She was complimentary on the interior and said the seat was comfortable. She thought the car was quiet and had a good stereo. She then ask me to show her what it would do. She was awed and thought that the acceleration was beyond belief. She told me that the car had no body roll in the corners and that the brakes were stout. At the end of the ride, she said that this car was the best that she had ever been in and way better than my previous vettes and way better than any of her pcars.

Toxic Z

My mother was quoted as having told my sister that she lost the wrinkles on her face.. aside from being fixed against the back of the seat...

....and I did not even red line the car.. all I did was just accelerate to avoid the rear end collision with a semi....

My wife(who is passenger the most) loves the car. She says the ride is hardley different from the 05 Z51 I had,and the seats are quite confortable.
Others that have ridden say about the same. There opinions about the power of the car would get this post attacked by a mod . Lets just say they love the car. My son has said its the best of the Vettes I have owned.

From the beginning, my finacee says it's night and day over the ride and comfort of my old c5 convert.

They usually don't say anything until they calm down . . . most of the rides I give are at the track

Passengers love the stock seats. Real comfortable. I am putting in Caravaggio's GT's this weekend...............will advise how they perform............

First impression is they all love the exotic look.

The second statement is typically something about how expensive it is for "just a Vette".

After a ride there's always amazement on how fast, how well it handles and stops.

That's followed by, "If I had the money, I'd definately buy one."
