Default Newbie question

I just purchased a very nice 2001 pewter/black convertible with 36K miles. The complete records with it included the original sticker and among the options is "Performance Handling Package" $350

There is no number code on it. Is this the Z51 package? If not, what is it?

Thank you for the rapid response. I tell you, I owned a C4 back in the early 90's but this car (it has straight tube headers, cat back Corsa and a custom tune) not only looks beautiful but it's power and handling amazes me. I am a bit of a neophyte I guess....

I had a 90 C4 and many things about it I miss. But there is no comparing the power of these things to a C4 except for the ZR1 and maybe the LT4.

To this day I sometimes hang out in the garage and just stare at it. Of all the cars I've had, and I've had a bunch, this is my favorite.

BSM (body side moldings) option code B84, a $75 (1997-2002) $150 (2003-2004) option on the C5's. In 2001 approx 57% of C5's were manufactured with this option. Some like the look, some don't. They are removable with some risk. Do a search and you'll get a ton of info.
