My car is fast and all that. But my favorite feature of the car is what GM calls โMagneride,โ which means that the shocks absorber system does not use the tech found in nearly all cars but rather a magnetorheological damper system that is so superior to anything on a regular car that I donโt know how I will ever drive a car again without this feature.
Hereโs what another publication said about Magneride.
An available 6-speed manual transmission and GMโs excellent Magnetic Ride Control, which is the automotive suspension equivalent of magic.
When Iโm riding in other cars now or driving them, it feels like Iโm bumping along in a horsecart from 1856. That is how superior the suspension in the SS is. Developed by Delphi Automotive (and used first in GMโs Cadillac ATS), the same tech is also used in Ferraris.
It is adaptive to road conditions and is just wonderful to experience.
It also means that I can twist a knob and adjust how soft or hard the suspension is instantly. Works within milliseconds. Want to feel like Iโm driving grampaโs Caddy? Turn it to โtouring.โ Want to pretend Iโm screaming down the stretch at the Daytona 500? Flip it over the โTrackโ mode and the ride becomes so firm that you can feel every pebble.
It is amazing and like I said I have no idea how I will ever live without a car that doesnโt have this capability.
