Newbie Question...option codes?
I bought my Vette in April of this year, and I've often wondered about some of the options it may have. Where can I look to find out more about the suspension, brakes, etc...? Is there a sticker on the car somewhere that will tell me if I have Z51 suspension, J55 brakes for example?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Congrats and welcome aboard! Codes should be listed on a piece of paper under the storage bin behind the passenger seat. Alternatively, you can (for a price) go to the National Corvette Museum with your VIN and they'll supply a build sheet, what options it came with, and a window price sticker.

On my '94 the RPO codes are on the inside of the console door.
Here is a link for what they mean.

Once you find them, in addition to the above, you can use this to decipher as well:
