I don't deny the flexibility, convenience and technology that goes with mag ride. It all boils down to personal preference. And future maintenance: if you plan to keep the car for many years, you will eventually have to replace the MRC shocks to the tune of $1000 or more EACH. If you intend to sell the car in 3-4 years its not much of an issue.

As an alternate, one can always get the non-mag ride and install manually adjustable shocks such as QA1. Not as convenient as mag ride's push button tech, but more flexible than stock shocks. I have them on my '74 Stingray and they work great.
