Ride quality excellent unless you have lowering spring installed, then ride quality would be bouncy j

It's not bouncy at all it feels stiff

 

How much air pressure are in the tires?

Understand the tires are relatively low profile, that makes a big difference if you aren’t used to it.

Need to check shocks as well. Is there any evidence of leaks around the shock bodies?

 

And how much tire wear. That, air pressure, shocks, proper suspension setting and proper suspension components along with zero additional weight in the car will all add up to answer this query. I would make sure the tires are at or one psi below the recommended pressure.

 

Sports car problems.

Brand new tires, currently sitting at 37psi. I like the slightly lower tire pressure for hooking up off the line.
Anyway, that's exactly what the dealership told me, low profile tires, low to the ground, and we admittedly have some pretty crappy roads around here.
Eh it's not really that bad I just wanted a 2nd opinion. On touring it's better than Sport, maybe I'll just set the suspension to stay on touring full time.

Oh what do you mean additional weight? 95% of the time it's just me in the car.

 

Touring is definitely better than sport. Be glad you don't drive an ATS-V as it is much rougher than the CTS-V.

I usually run around 35 psi but 32 might be better for you.
Just don’t come back complaint about fuel economy if you lower the tire pressure.

Or tire wear.

 

I only consider air pressure when the tires are cold. That’s the industry standard.

Car feels smooth to me.

 

This reminds me! Know that gauge at the bottom of the temp area?Mine NEVER works. I think it's broken have to take it in along with that really LOUD noise everytime I touch the gas! This post reminded me I need to get this DONE!

These are four door corvettes with a bit of luxury

They are not the boats caddy is renowned for in the classic age of cars. No modern cadillac will float like a 6k lb iron sled. Physics are brutally honest.

You won't feel all the bumps if you are airborne. You take that thing off any sweet jumps?

 

Definitely check if the rear shocks are leaking. I had the same experience but just assumed was normal part of the ride quality of an aggressive sport sedan in sport or track mode. Recent dealership oil change revealed rear shock leak and took pictures for me. Bit the bullet and had the rears changed out for brand new OEMs. I have a 2016 V that I picked up used a couple years ago. The ride is sooooo much better and can't believe I was driving around thinking the bumpy ride was normal. Now driving in sport or track mode with new rear shocks is like the drive feel in tour with the old shocks. Night and day difference for sure!

Thanks man, sounds like what I have, it's definitely in the rear, next time it's in the garage I'll ask for an inspection.

 

Run tires at 35 psi like the placard in the door says to do. Rides a lot worse at 37 in my experience.

 

There is definitely a noticeable difference between ~38psi and ~32psi with regards to ride comfort. I've never had a car that was so sensitive to tire pressure.

 

BOOMER

 

32 psi? Is that a flat tire?

 

seriously, who heats their tires to pressurize them to the manufacturer's recommendation? wtf is wrong with people?

 

My ATS-V just got new tires last week. I followed Mfr. recommend psi at 35 on the previous set of tires. They cupped on the edges and were louder than, well, what they should be. So my new set is going to roll at 37 psi to avoid the edges wearing out prematurely. Of course I could drive like my wife.......

 

These tires are for sure sensitive to pressure. I had better times at the track at 35psi than 28psi.

 

I have a’09 cts v psi at 35 but the ride is rough

Has anyone else experienced the same.?

 

I keep mine at 36.
