Nice to see we're in good company. I wonder why the ZR1 didn't use them?

Unless there’s been major advances in their technology, I question their use in that application. It’s my understanding that any serious GT350Rs go to coil overs.

Because Corvette is more worried about being comfortable for old, retired guys. It’s why we have 3500 lbs automatic convertible “Z06s”.

OR it could be the fact that they wouldn't work well with the rear leaf springs that the Corvette uses.

Corvette needs to redo the rear end suspension, it has always been its weak point. It makes the rear-end twitchy and prone to snap oversteer.

This is why the Zl1 1LE feels more planted and stable that the Grand Sport or Z06

They stated the ZR1 was meant to the ultimate GT car not track killer. If you want extreme track they still recommend the ZO6. GT= track capable but comfortable which equals Magnets.

Tongue in cheek...this is true. When the ZR1 was released, there was even a statement in there about it being a GT car...not a racer.

Cars also featuring the Multimatic spool valve tech (in different forms) are:

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (off-road)
Ford GT (height adjustable)
Mercedes AMG GT
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
Aston Martin One-77
Aston Martin Vulcan (off-road, race)
RUF CTR3

And DSSV came from racing. From Autoweek: "It was pioneered in Champ Car in 2002, where it won five championships. It made its way to F1 where it was present on the season winners in the 2010-2013 FIA World Constructors’ Championships with Red Bull Racing. Multimatic dampers were on 25 of the 60 entries at Le Mans last year, including three of the four class winners."

....good company, indeed!

Really? All of that HP & Aero for a GT? Z06 = Magnets as well right?

I don’t really get that position.

Why throw all that aero on a car that isn’t supposed to be a track car?

Seems like they don’t know what they want to do.

My inner child likes to think they didn't want it compared to the ZL1 1LE on track!
