Am I going insane or is my 2SS massively uncomfortable? - Page 2

I love the ride of my 17 SS vert I took delivery in Detroit and drove her home to Orlando 18 hours loved it.

Drove her from Orlando to Bowling Green and back again zero issues I love the ride.

My 2011 had a harder suspension then the 2019 and it was a comfortable ride. My 2019 has the magnetic ride and its an incredible improvement. in touring, its a very smooth and comfortable ride.

Mine is a convertible and it is very quiet, what do you mean noisy?

I agree with others, the Magnetic Ride Control is well worth the cost... In tour it floats, in Track it hugs everything... Well worth the cost... (That and the NPP Exhaust, I love my NPP and MRC...)

I live in Polk County, Florida, roads are garbage. My car rides just fine and I've done a couple of multi-state road trips, but I ditched the run flats early on when I changed wheels so that could be the problem...

I think it really depends on what you are comparing the car to. I don't have MRC, but I feel that car is pretty smooth for a sports car. I did ditch the run flats, but the ride wasn't bad when I had them. The car may feel on the harsh side if you're comparing it to a luxury car or even some standard sedans and SUVs. On the other hand, if you're comparing it to other sporty cars within a similar price range, the ride is surprisingly good in my opinion. Even though I wish I got MRC, not having it doesn't make the car uncomfortable for me.

My wife says the car rides nice as a passenger. She only complains when she wants to recline to take a nap on long trips... Especially with my daughter in the backseat.

IMO mine is decently comfortable for a sports car. I do have MRC and non-runflat stock(as part of the 1LE package). I will be doing a road trip towards the end of month so I will have a more in-depth experience then. When I drove mine home from the dealer that's 5 hours away, I didn't have any issues.

I am going to third, fourth or fifth the other guys. If you are used to an SUV then it probably will feel a bit harsher.

This...tire change makes a huge difference in ride quality.

I have no complaints. I love that I can feel the car and the road at the right amount. I test drove a Mustang GT PP1 where everything vibrates, then I got back into the Camaro, it felt like a Cadillac... which it is.

my buddy's 19 gt pp1 car is a cadillac compared to my 1LE. no rattles or vibrations, but it is noticeably softer.

Most comfortable sports car I’ve ever owned. Just drove 900 miles round trip and was a joy. Firm but never really harsh riding. 1SS without MRC.

Devstrike · 08-08-2020, 06:17 AM

I am very comfortable in mine and I suffer from a bad back and left leg so I hope whatever is causing your discomfort gets found and fixed soon.

jamala00 · 08-08-2020, 06:52 AM

I can ride in my car for hours with no issues. I have MRC and I also do not have run flats.

Get rid of those tires, I think that is most likely your biggest issue.

Petrol Head · 08-08-2020, 07:19 AM

GM really should have given an option on the SS trim for run flats or all season tires with a patch kit in the trunk. Until they brought out the LT1 model there was no way to get the V8 without aggressive run flats and not everyone wants that most aggressive tire all time time.

I’m half tempted to just burn through these run flats as fast as possible to give me a good reason to buy new tires.

ItsChristianInHD · 08-08-2020, 07:31 AM

I live in FLA and I don’t think it’s that bad but I dodge every bump or go over bumps like a grandma very slowly. I can’t wait to ditch the run flats.
