Video: Corvette C5 Magnetic Ride -- GM Promotional Video

[Rob]

Late in the production run (starting with the 2003 model year), the F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control Suspension replaced the F45 as the third suspension choice. The racing-inspired FE4 suspension used for the Z06 is stiffer again than any offered on the base model C5, and is unique to that model with no optional suspensions offered.

Excellent info Rob, I never really understood the mag select was designed to improve roadability, I thought it was just a stiffer suspension mode. The video is impressive and really shows the difference between the two suspensions, thanks for sharing.

The video of both drivers bouncing in the seats was revealing, I wasn't aware that there was such a dramatic difference between the shocks. Obviously an excellent system.

Not sure I would want to pay the toll for repairs though.

You would have to bring the repairs into the picture...I don't even want to think about that. Any special maintenance required on the mag system?
