Camaro LT-1 suspension feels great! - Page 2

Dorso Duro John,

I gave the 2020 LT-1 to my brother. His car was stolen/totalled and he needed a car. I liked the LT-1 and decided to get another one.

It is definitely possible they were able to tune something and make an improvement but I am thinking about it and nothing comes to mind as to what could be tuned without some sort of hardware change. You can adjust spring rates, roll bar stiffness, damper rates, alignment, stiffer bushings, additional bracing. Could it be the tires you are on?

I'm sure the Camaro SS (all years) handles well. I just noticed that my car feels better than the 2020 LT1 I had, that's it.

We don't doubt your experience, it's just that the original 6th gen Camaro team was disbanded sometime in late 2018 or early 2019, which drastically reduces the likelihood of such incremental improvements.

If he like the ride who cares. It's his ride. Mine feel different every drive with the temp. and run flats.

Hi everyone. Just got the car, so I'm still rolling on the factory runflats. Yes, I'm enjoying driving the car.

I don’t think anyone was knocking him or his ride, just pointing that no changes had been made, tuning or otherwise.

That’s how I took this thread too.

I think its possible that something like struts/shocks are outsourced from a supplier that there could have been a update for valve improvement or something that would be under the radar. just using this example from which i know nothing about really but a supplier might have communized the valve from 2 different grade struts to save money and used the valve that was suited better for performance.
