Default Options on C5

I'm searching for a C5 to replace my stolen C5 and was wondering if anyone knows if "Magnetic Ride" is the same thing as "Soft Ride"?

Also, what does "SLM-Stock Orders" mean on the build sheet? Or "DD8-OSRV"?
Thanks in advance

No. Magnetic Ride, Option code F55 is the adjustable ride suspension. There will be a select **** on the console to select Tour or Sport.

Depends on what you are looking for. I like having the option of soft or harsh ride.

I believe Soft-Ride is the FE1 base suspension. OSRV is Outside Rear View Mirror......

Magnetic ride is F55 and will say that along with FE1 on a buildsheet. The FE1 components are the springs and swaybars. The shocks and the associated sensors are what makes up the F55.

You, Sir have the F45 suspension (which has three modes). The F55 (magnetic selective ride, only two modes) didn't come along until the '03 model year.

It was stolen, taken for a joy ride, driven through a softball fence so they could do donuts in the outfield, almost got stuck in the infield(rained all weekend) and then tried to leave the scene and ran into a pole. Let's just say the pole didn't show any sign of damage.
I'll have pictures later.

Interesting, I wonder how they got past the VATS? Sounds like they were kids, and kids aren't too skilled at hi-tech thievery.


BTW, sorry for your loss, I hate having a car stolen, you feel personally assaulted, especially a 'vette, it's more than a car, it's a hobby.
Good luck selecting your next car.

John
