You should see Z19, FE3, Z51, MN6, and a few other things on that card on the glove box lid if you've got a hardtop.
This is true for the `99 FRCs.
But every `00 FRC I've seen does not have Z19 or Z51 listed on the RPO sticker.

While the button on the center console is for the active handling, make sure not to confuse the adjustable suspension package corvettes that have the dial in which you can configure which suspension setting you wish to use! If you hvae the Z51 you will not have this dial in the car

Must have been a mid-year change. Mine has both...
