The first year Z06 was reported to be skittish at the limits. Many people have incorrectly blamed this on the leaf spring. The second year Z06 received new shocks (no change to the springs) which seemed to have addressed the skittishness issues. However the car still is reported to ride stiffly. I can't say as I've only driven the C6 Z51. The Z51 suspension is stiff but not intolerable on the frost bitten roads of the Midwest. Certainly it was no worse than an old 1.6L Miata.

Since the release of the Z06 apparently GM has addressed the heating issues with the MR shocks so they now can be used on a track driven car. With those shocks GM can deliver a softer ride as well as better body motion control. Really a win win.
