First off, if it was going to keep me from ordering, then I'd certainly skip it. Even a base no options C8 is an incredible car that you will enjoy greatly.
Now, having said that, for me, MagRide...

This. Thankfully I realized it about a decade earlier. :D It could be the fastest car in the world, but if it's a soulless appliance, not many people are going to enjoy driving it.

Haha, it happened on a paved road about 45 minutes east of Tail of the Dragon in NC in my C6 ZR1. Don't know what it was, but it was a big enough hole that patch kit and fix-a-flat wouldn't seal it....

The C8 Z06 is very different than any previous Corvette as it has already been pushed to probably 90-95% of it's capacity. You might get 30HP additional if you throw all the bolt-ons at it (throttle...

In general, the C8 (both Stingray and Z06) are quieter than the previous C6/7 equivalent by a good bit. Yes, depending on pavement type there is still some road noise, but I have not found either to...

If you want the best ride, skip Z51 completely but still do the MagRide. Non-Z51 with MagRide is the best ride you can get, with Tour mode riding better than my wife's Cadillac. And the car will...

"150% of x" would be 1.5x. "150% more than x" would be x + 1.5x.
To get from 413 to 619 would be either 50% more (413 + 413x0.5) or 150% of it (413x1.5).
