Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to test the selective ride on my 03 Anniverary Edition Corvette? I move the switch between the 2 options but I dont seem to notice much of a difference. Ive had this car since last May and would like to be sure everything is operating normally, Thanks in advance, Chevrolee

I have an 01 and it has three settings. I can definitely tell when I am in performance. I fell every little bump and it sure reduces the body roll

Here are a couple of articles that explain the F55 suspension offered for the first time in 2003 -

It's interesting to note that the new C6 ZR1 has a version of the F55 as do the newest Ferraris!

Big difference between the 01's and the 03's and later.
There have been instances when the shock stuffers were not removed prior to delivery on the 03's and I think some 04's. Check to see if they are still there as you will have a new car if they have never been removed.
