I cant even begin to touch on the amount of research and development that has gone into the DSC Controller, the programming etc, to think that it softens a few things up or just changes a few things is very short sited. Go drive a ZL1 or SS 1LE at the track with and with out and then please do give your opinion. I can tell you that its night and day better, if you want to go to the moon, give it another couple months when thay have the RTx shocks for the Camaro, that combination will run circles around any other set-up-
I'm going to go deeper into this comment because it's simply chock full of ignorance and shilling.

Can you prove it doesn't?

This was never in question. The comparison might be to spool-valve dampers, but in your context you're completely ignoring the dynamically active calculations in the OEM MRC controller, something the DSC doesn't do. Your asserting is akin to a marketing sheet for Megan coilovers; "So many features" and yet none of them are calibrated for the platform.

That's not how springs work. Increasing the damping force during brake pressure changes the rate of weight transfer, but dampers cannot change the amount of dive. You fundamentally misunderstand the physics.

Oh this is a good one. Implying DSC has more development resources than the Camaro team is a joke and a half. It's plain as day you've swished and swallowed their kool-aid right here. If they did that much R&D, where's the Z-axis in the calculations? Oops.

Night and day, yes. "better", hardly.
