Not 'sticking-up' for C6's and mag ride suspension......but why specifically doesn't he like it? - yes, for racing I can understand perhaps wanting the consistency/predicability on non-self adjusting dampers.....but for the average driver wouldn't mag ride be ideal?
But, don't listen to me - us C3 owners have enough of our own suspension/damping issues!

That was my thought too - average driver would probably like mag ride, but understand in racing / getting the absolute most out of a car then maybe they wouldn't want it.

On the latest Mustangs, their MagneRide option gives you/includes "Pothole Mitigation" Quote:

"Active Pothole Mitigation​

The system detects and protects against jarring impact and costly repairs. The technology monitors body, steering and braking inputs to detect a pothole and catch the wheel before it drops"

Does it work like that on a C6 with MagRide? Presumably not, as they would have told us that?

Iā€™d assume that is based on the same information at the lane control etc. Without that ability to scan ahead it could only react which would be all a bit late.

The system would be working overtime in Northamptonshire and be worn out within 12 months !! ā˜¹ļø

When we spoke on the phone one of the 1st questions he asked was does it have magride? He definitely doesn't like it and said it's not a good system

Blimey, he really loved your car! Sounds great with the aftermarket "mufflers" Borla/Corsa? I regret selling my 2007 C6 LS2 UK spec car. I loved it just as much as my C7 and they still look fantastic. Ist question I would have asked is does it have the Z51 option, with the uprated brakes, cooling and suspension? Mag Ride and Z51 was standard fit on UK/mainland Europe C6s and C7s. Your US spec car has the Z51 option too, as he mentions in the video.
