C7 MSRC on Stingray vs MSRC on Z51
I am sure that this is my lack of doing proper research and googling around properly, but I am a little confused on C7 MSRC on Stingray vs MSRC on Z51. I have a '11 GS with MSRC and a '98 with F-45 Ride Control and I really like both of the ride options. My question is, will the ride be different with C7 MSRC on Stingray vs MSRC on Z51 in terms of comfort on long rides or top performance on the track in a measurable way ie seat of the pants or numbers?
Thanks,

The above is correct. No MSRC on the non-Z51.
From what I gather, the suspension could be arranged as follows in terms of stiffness:
Non-Z51 would be smoothest ride. Z-51 with MSRC is slightly more stiff even at softest setting (mostly due to larger sway bars), and then Z-51 without MSRC is the most stiff (although the MSRC at its stiffest setting would be better for track use).
