[QUOTE="Mr.Corvette, post: 227464, member: 6760"] Kevin, the thing that stinks about a new model is that there are no test drives to try out Z51, non Z51, with our without Mag ride etc. Fortunately, I got a chance to drive a Z51 non mag ride 2LT a couple of months before mine was built. Mine has Z51 and Mag ride and although I liked the non mag ride car, I like mine better. Around the time they announced the 2021 option price increases in the US, 74% of the 2020's had been built with Z51 and 58% with E60 front lift. I think the FE4 Z51 performance with Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension probably has been ordered the same as the front lift. To give you something else to consider, the ride and handling engineers said at the unveiling that the C8 has the fourth generation of magnetic ride since introduced on the 50th anniversary in 2003. Magnetic ride on the C8 is far ahead of the C7. Known as MR 4.0 the main technology is that instead of ride height position sensors they now have an accelerometer on the knuckle. You get immediate feedback as soon as the knuckle starts to move a little bit that feedback is going into the MR system. An accelerometer measures changes in velocity along one axis. It is a way quicker way of looking at what the wheel needs from a damping standpoint. Technological advancements have been made for optimal calibration. They have redefined it on top of a much stiffer structure and it is much more capable than in the past to do things for ride quality and handling that they have never been able to do before. For 2021 customers can order MR4 without the Z51. There will still be a big demand for used 2021's when the Z06 comes the next year. Jeffer is right about selling your vehicle privately, but run that sale through your dealership so you get the sales tax credit to apply to your new Z06. If you do order Z51 and FE4 Mag ride, you will get most of your money back out of those options because that is what the next customer wants. [/QUOTE]
