I cannot really tell the difference. Granted I've only had my '13 ZR1 for a short time ~ 440 miles.

Compared to other cars I've owned which I could really notice the ride changing with adjustable suspension.

I really can't tell the difference when driving on freeway on my 09 ZR1.

When you run it on the track the shocks are noticeably stiffer in the turns.

It is more noticeable on the C7's as they have a lot of different modes from what I hear.

Yeah. I have an '09. Unless I get over very choppy pavement at highway speed, no difference. Even then, nothing that big. Went to my dealer (who has been great and I trust - great owner and mechanic), they checked it out and showed me it is working (signal change to computer), and that they hear big difference is at the track. I do know the mag does work as I have encountered some very big bumps at highway speed expecting my teeth to rattle and virtually no reaction in the cabin. Also, unlike my Z06, rear barely steps out in a turn when you hit a bump (not an issue where Z06 it was) even though car is clearly stiffer.

And in response to OP, nothing in the car when you turn the **** on an '09. No light, chime....just the **** clicks into place.

...much more noticeable on backroads/twisties, and from what I hear & read, at the track.
