Been shopping the Stingray Z51's currently on the lot. The majority of them don't have MSRC. I currently have it on my '17 Z06 and can't imagine not having the option. Am I seeing this because there has been a constraint on MSRC recently that would cause what I'm seeing.

…lots of constraint issues the past several years on Z51’s and mag ride…

Probably why they are sitting on dealer lots... People passed on the allocation since they couldn't get their build so dealers ordered what they could get for inventory.

Rapid Z

This is my thought. Its been on and off constraint lately.

So therefore I have a “rare bird”?

These are all 2024's. Was MSRC on allocation when or since they started building them?

You have a rare bird, indeed. Lucky you. Keep enjoying in good health.

That seems realistic. The first local C8 owner I met (my dad's morning coffee car buddy) had a 70th Anniversary Edition with Z51 but no MSRC. Another MY23 owner at Corvette Owners School also had Z51 without MSRC. I submitted my MY23 in the first half of 2023 but my build may have gotten pushed to the very tail end because I ordered FE4. It was a long wait but the wait paid off in a way. Got the updated baffled DCT oil pan and the Engine Appearance Package. My salesman said he hadn't seen that option available or delivered on any builds all year.

I don't think it was that hard to order. When I ordered my car (built in mid January 2024) there were no constraint issues with magnetic ride, the Z51 package, or the front lift mentioned to me by MacMulkin. Here is my car:

Not sure they are rare but here's a new Z51, mag ride with front lift at a dealership.

My 2023 is a Z51 with Mag Ride also. 2LT. Picked it up 12/05/23 at the Museum . Color CMG.

I have a Z51 without mag ride and it is very comfortable. Not a deal breaker, IMO.

Nothing really rare concerning any C8

Just get a Z, I believe they all come with it :P

My 2007 Vert and my 2017 Z06 Vert both had MSRC. It was under constraint when I ordered my 2023 Z51 Vert. Really was worried. Don't miss is at all! I would highly recommend the Z51 without it!

Roughly 40% doesn't seem rare. You may run into local dealerships in certain areas with low Corvette allocations (like my area). Or they sold through their C8's which had the Z51/MSRC combo. I highly endorse MSRC with or without Z51 though. Roads in my area are HORRIBLE.

I got lucky on my 2023, when I ordered in January '23 there were no constraints on Z-51 or mag ride. I'm very happy with my Z-51/w mag.

C5racecar

Yep, I have a 2023 Z51 without MSRC, and I would not recommend that combination. The ride is really rough and no option to change it.

FWIW, 2024 2LT HTC Z51 w/Z51 Suspension/MSRC + front lift - ordered August '23, no constraints when ordered, built/arrived November '23, brief delay when aluminum frame parts were unavailable for 2 days.
