They see me rollin’

My car is fast and all that. But my favorite feature of the car is what GM calls โ€œMagneride,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 donโ€™t know how I will ever drive a car again without this feature.

Hereโ€™s what another publication said about Magneride.

An available 6-speed manual transmission and GMโ€™s excellent Magnetic Ride Control, which is the automotive suspension equivalent of magic.

When Iโ€™m riding in other cars now or driving them, it feels like Iโ€™m 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 GMโ€™s 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 Iโ€™m driving grampaโ€™s Caddy? Turn it to โ€œtouring.โ€ Want to pretend Iโ€™m screaming down the stretch at the Daytona 500? Flip it over the โ€œTrackโ€ 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 doesnโ€™t have this capability.
