.....and this was with one of the pre "mystery QC hold" cars, so I'd take that comparison with a grain of salt.

As I stated, it outperformed the GS. didnt say by a lot.

I never said or inferred that you did.

You didn't specify by how much it was faster, so I thought I would post by how much it was faster in order to add to the conversation.

I have not driven the Z06 with the Mag ride only a grand sport is it much better handling or pretty similar with more power.

The Magna Ride on Grand Sport is the first gen, which has been around for about a decade. It is similar to what other brands like BMW, etc. offer in their car. However, what Z06 comes with is the same as what ZR1 has, second gen, which dynamically adapts to road conditions, and also comes with PTM. It is very similar to ZL1, though ZL1's (which is 3rd gen) response time is faster.

We know the impact of Magna Ride on ZL1's handling. On a very capable and lightweight (3175 lbs) chassis like Z06, it does miracles! On Road and Track test data (http://www.roadandtrack.com/content/...v2012_data.pdf), Z06 does 1.07G skidpad, and 77.2 MPH slalom, which makes it the best handling car ever next to ZR1 in the whole list! These are jaw-dropping numbers. Check out the data

For reference, Grand Sport pulls .99 GG and does the slalom at 71.4 MPH in the list.
