I agree with Stingray - I have Z51 without MRC and have driven it literally every day since October 4. I have over 11,000 real-world miles on crappy Midwest roads, and have no complaints whatsoever. Is the ride firm? Absolutely! Is it unbearable? Not at all! It IS a sports car, and by their very nature the ride will be noticeably stiffer than pretty much any other class of car on the road. And keep in mind, even with MRC, the ride will be a little more firm than your typical car - the very short sidewalls on the run-flat tires don't have much give, and will tend to transmit a fair amount of road roughness. But is by no means unbearable - I've made a couple of 700+ mile road trips with complete comfort!
