I would say that the ZL1 (and SS with Magnetic Ride Control) are blessed with the "Magentic Ride Miracle".
I leave mine in Tour all the time.
Driving over normal roads (I'm in San Jose, CA, a lot of concrete highway in various stages of decay), this is one of the most compliant, yet controlled, suspensions I've felt in a sporty car - comparing to a '12 AMG C63 Coupe, '08 M3 Vert, '07 Z4 3.0i, '09 135i Vert.
However, at the same time, when heading down a mountain pass (ex. on way back from East over the Sierra Nevadas), or twisting thru Highway 1 (ex. up in Marin), it corners flat and rock solid- where the AMG C63 and M3 would lean.
I think this miracle is fully attributable to the MRC and shocks that adjust "1,000 times per second" to the road conditions.
I think MRC is arguably the best part of the ZL1 (and SS).
Merci beaucoup Cadillac!
