B-52

Have a friend , NASCAR modified driver . Has a car shop. Worked on all the Italians , Germans, Corvettes , etc .
Has owned both a Z51 and a Z06 . Both with magnetic ride shocks.
His comments on ride between the two were , despite the shocks , in any mode , the Z06 was noticeably stiffer than the Z51 .
Anyone else experienced this?
I would think the Z06 is more “ track” focused and hence not surprised.

Could find any comments is search

This would make sense as I believe the Z06 springs are also about 30% stiffer than Z51

I've seen several videos on YouTube and thats exactly what they say, feels like a different car.

That’s why I’m on the Eray list. At 70, I don’t need a track car. The Eray has major appeal as a haul-*** GT.

Maybe not a valid comparison, I had a C7 Z06 and now a “24” stingray Z51, mag ride. The Z06 was a LOT MORE stiff riding.

Owned both C8s, and yes, but its A-OK w/ me

Not surprised at all that the Z06 would have a stiffer ride than the Z51.

I feel the same. My 17Z also had the Z07 with the stiffer springs. My C8 Z51 almost feels like a luxury car when comparing them.

It actually is a luxury car, adjusted for sportscar handling

Almost 1k miles on my Z, haven’t ever felt it was just too stiff in any setting including Sport. I’m coming from a C7 Z51.
