Magnetic ride control is great for what it is, but I'm not so sure its best for a Z28. I see the Z28 as being much like the Z06. The track star of the line up. The best thing about MR shocks is that they can go from being soft and comfortable to ultra stiff in an instant. Thats fine on top of the line models and luxury cars and exotics, but if its a track car ... soft and comfortable rank somewhat lower on the priority list. A well tuned shock could do just as well on a track as an MR shock would for less money. The sacrifice is a rougher ride on bad pavement. But I honestly think that the ones who want a Z28 would be fine with that, and a certain percentage might even enjoy those bumps ... it makes their car that extra bit more badass. And for those who don't like it, well ... there's always the ZL1.
