If I were going to Europe again (spent 13 years of my life there), there's no question what car I would take. The Z28 would be right at home and leading the pack on some of the Alpine roads I've travelled, not to mention my 20 some laps on the Nurburgring. Unfortunately, those kinds of driving experiences cost you $300+ for a track day in the US if you live close to a course...that kinda limits the experience to the wealthy few.

The Camaro Z/28 is the one of the first production cars fitted with race-proven, spool-valve dampers. Compared to a conventional damper that offers only two-way tuning for bump and rebound, a spool-valve damper allows four-way adjustment to precisely tune both bump and rebound settings for high-speed and low-speed wheel motions. The wider tuning range allowed engineers to dramatically increase the damper stiffness on the Camaro Z/28 without a significant change in ride quality. Additional chassis changes include stiffer string rates and suspension bushings for improved cornering response. |

...unanswered question. It's understood that the DSSV dampers are adjustable, but how is this accomplished? Manually or by electronics?

I would suspect the dampers have no electronic control whatsoever.

How do they compare performance/price wise to traditional coilovers?
