not 100% sure (but like 99.8%)... but I don't think any of the V6 cars have magnetic ride control.

being that this is a v6 forum, all of that info is basically irrelevant for pretty much all of us here. the most upgraded suspension the LT v6 models get, is the 1LE FE3 suspension which is SS stock suspension more or less. MRC is an option for SS models.

Your sig says you own a ZL1 1LE...is that true? If so why would you assume to know the features of the V6? I'm not trying to be an a$$ but they do not offer the same features.

hey, I aint mad... no worries...


I just pointed that out, cause a lot of the V6 guys wont notice your car in your profile and get mislead.

happens regularly.

I originally bought a 2ss in 2016 and it is still my daily driver. the zl1 spends the majority of its life in the garage lol. I didn't know the ss and the lgx didn't share the same feature or that this was a v6 forum. my apologies

Today I was driving in tapshift mode on my V6 RS A8 and was noticing the car was feeling a bit more sluggish than normal when going from gear to gear. Normally the upshifts and downshifts are crisp and quick but not today.

My husband had been driving the car before me and it was only after starting to panic that I noticed he had put the car in "touring" mode. I've never driven it in anything but "sport" and apparently it makes a big difference for manual tapshifts as well.

HAHAHHAHAHAAA

He actually doesn't like to ride with me because I frequently run the revs up over 4500 RPM. He just traded in his '10 SS because he drives like a grandma and wasn't fully appreciating the car like I was.

With my manual, I notice a difference right away with steering stiffness and feedback on corners.
