The G92 code is for the performance axle in automatics (3.15 ratio instead of the stock 2.73).

The only thing I can find on the WD2 code is that it is to designate a "factory proptype" similar to a pilot car or testing of the assembly line process or some change in the process.

I remember the days when I had an altimeter!

Now a glass cockpit in a Vette. Thats an idea for a mod. It would go great with the HUD. I guess the AVIC X1 is the closest I'll get
