The Corvette Z06’s racing-inspired suspension and aluminum frame with carbon fiber fenders and floor panels grant it a legendary curb weight of only 3,199 pounds. Thus, the Z06 is one of the lightest, most well-balanced supercars on the market today. The standard Corvette suspension is tuned with a balance of ride comfort and precise handling in mind. The optional Z16 Performance Package includes extra cooling, stiffer springs and stabilizer bars, shock absorbers, larger brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear cross-drilled rotors, specific tires and Z16-specific six-speed manual when ordered with six-speed manual transmission, or a performance rear axle ratio when ordered with the six-speed paddle shift automatic. The Z06 offers standard 18″ front and 19″ rear 5 spoke aluminum wheels with many available upgrades. 

Magnetic Selective Ride Control (MSRC) suspension is available on the Corvette Z06. The MSRC option features magneto-rheological dampers able to detect road surfaces, and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride control. The MSRC suspension option for the Corvette includes larger, cross-drilled brake rotors. MSRC allows the driver to stiffen suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city and highway driving with available Magnetic Selective Ride Control. There is an electromagnetic coil inside each damper piston. Particles in the shock fluid are capable of instantaneously bonding, thus allowing the fluid to become stiffen the shock’s damping. While on the other hand, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows liberally, granting effortless suspension movement. The MSRC system allows for two distinctly different cockpit settings: Tour and Sport. 
MSRC suspension on the Corvette Z06 also includes the Performance Traction Management system—which integrates Selective Ride, Traction Control and Active Handling Systems. The result of this system is the ability to easily and fully accelerate the Z06 while exiting a turn. The overall handling of the Z06 is also improved with this potent edition.
