The ride is something that I was very interested in since it has the quadra-link rear suspension and DSE coilover/control arm setup in the front. However, Mark is running Bilstein shocks that he's had custom valved, and I'm not sure how the dynamics of those compare to the Koni shocks that come with the DSE kit. Mark also opted for 175 lb/in rear springs with a rear sway bar.

We only drove a small 5 or 6 mile loop so it's hard to get a real feel for it, especially with the horrendous Michigan roads. There were a lot of (what I would call) square edge bumps. We didn't take any corners, it was primarily a cruise with some WOT action.

I have a lot more time in the Mule and that thing rides awesome. It's sorted out, has a firm and tight ride that wasn't harsh. It's very balanced. It would be interesting to have Mark compare the two, Mule vs. Camaro X.
