Default Build Sheet came today!

I went ahead and bought a laminated build sheet from the museum...looking at the RPO codes on my 94 Vert...is there a list of their meanings around???

Just curious as to some of what it says..."soft ride suspension" FE1... was there any other choice that year then FX3? like my 84 had the Z51...did this continue this late in builds? I do have the G44 3.07 rear gear which is nice!


TIA!

I just got my laminated build sheet & window sticker a few days ago as well. I just felt i had to have them.

Here's a link to the 1986-1996 RPO codes & meanings :

All `94 verts are FE1 base "soft ride" suspension.

Is that true for 95 verts? Mine is an FE1 car and was just wondering. Also are all the FE1 cars called "soft ride" or is there a FE1 and a FE1 soft ride?


the ride is great! yet handles AWESOME.

As defined by General Motors;
FE1 "soft ride" base
FE3 "sport" optional
FE4 "special suspension" optional
FE7 "heavy duty" optional

All C4 convertibles have FE1 suspensions.

FX-3 "selective ride control" are just adjustible shock absorbers. Not a separate suspension by themselves.

Where does a person go to order these things? Is there a Corvette Museum web site?

I'm just realizing how lazy that sounds ... Think I'll try "Google-ing" it.

But... if anyone's feeling particularly helpful...
