That is not true either. Maybe on a bumpy track (not really how most tracks are though) but on a smooth track, that isn't the case as many drivers can "read" a non magnetic setup better, which will yield quicker, more consistent times. Remember, MRC doesn't give you more grip. What GM "says is best" can very well be for marketing purposes, they are in a business to make money. I go by real world, first hand experience.

FYI, the ZL1 got MRC to help handle it's huge heft and weight gain, if you look the Z28 (more track oriented, and quicker track car), it didn't get MRC, and in that price point it certainly could have. Just some food for thought...

Not knocking MRC, it is an awesome system, but many on here don't fully understand it.

Where? By whom? I have yet to see one, as far as I know they do not exist from a reputable source yet...

Not true, Motor Trends test car did not have MRC, and so far that car got the best skidpad and figure eight numbers...
