Is it worth $5690 to get Magneride or not?

BMW's don't use Magnetic Ride Control. They have a similar system but do not be fooled, it absolutely is not the same. BMW's Active Suspension uses magnetic controls that adjust valving. Remember, Magnetic Ride Control that was originally done up by GM, went through Delphi and is now owned by Beijing Industries, doesn't even use traditional valves. Theoretically...Magnetic Ride Control doesn't even really have anything mechanical that would wear out.

The vette is only a 2 seater though

Sorry guys but a Mustang at 50k is crazy. I looked at Mustangs before getting my ATSV and that one comes with the magma ride,you can get those in the high 50's. That suspension really makes a difference, it rides really well over rough roads without being jarring. The Mustang as I remember was not bad, I tried an M3 and that one was even worse.

No argument on the price on the vette. Not sure it's that great of a buy anymore. Camaro is basically same performance for less and more features at that price point and better insurance.

There is a reason why Vettes are having a 20% price tag sale - too many on lots cause they aren't selling.

sorry couldnt help myself

When pricing out a GT, I want a premium with PP.
The two major options are the magneride and the LCD dash.

I will opt for magneride over the required 401a package with LCD, shaker and whatever else is required.

I much prefer hard bits like better suspension over gimmicks like LCD dash....I actually prefer old school dials in the mustang.
Oh and the variable exhaust also!

I have only driven Cadillac's with and without it and I totally could tell. The way that GM tunes it you don't feel body roll. Also it is smooth when it needs to be and sporty when driven harder. My thing is I am not sure if Ford is going to set them up right but they might.

I'm 6ft 185lbs.. sat in the back of my GT. Headroom was tight, otherwise pretty comfy back there.

If you track the car, then 100% yes it's worth if.

If it's mainly a street car, probably not.

Just the opposite^.

You can dampen your ride for long cruise, or cross country treks and not have that jarring feeling. Then tune it up for the road courses when you feel like it.

Yes MagneRide is worth it.

I am pretty sure Mag ride requires 401A.

Available with 301a as well.

I was able to add it with the 400A package. LCD only comes with the 401A. (something like $2200 more)
