Default ws6 vs. zo6.. ride quality.
Just out of curiosity, which car would have a less jarring ride: 02 ws6 or 02 zo6?

To me the Z06 seemed to have a ride quality that apealed to me more. It has a nice solid feel. Its firm over bumps, but not harsh. Overall its everything the f-body should have been.

That's why it's a Corvette.

I have both a Z06 and a 2000 SS, the Z definitly rides better hand in hand. I even have suspension, hal QA1's K member etc on the SS.
They both feel good, but the vette seems more natural to me.

Default ride
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm thinking of buying a zo6, but I don't want to be pounded any worse than I am now with my ws6 on Ohio's washboard roads

The stock shocks on the WS6 are a large part of it's crappy ride. I'm sure if you changed those you'd see a world of difference.

I have both and the Z06 is worlds above the Fbody in almost every respect. The thing that got me back in the Fbody is my redneck heritage and there's just something about a WS6 that appeals to the racer in me
