Default 1999 noob ????

I am looking at a 1999 frc. The owner says it has an autox option but I can't find any information on it. Any thoughts about this option?? Thank you.

There is no such thing as an autocross option.

Look in the glovebox for the RPO listings for the options.

This is one of the more comprehensive C5 RPO lists that I have found:
C5 RPO Numbers.
It shows RPO Z19 to be a Performance Package which offhand I'm not familiar.

Also, wonder if this could be what the seller is talking about? 1999 FRC Press Release

Z19 was on all hardtops. Essentially it was the MN6 tranny and Z51 suspension combined With XGG and YGH Wheels (standard tires) GU6 Axle (3.42)

This was a standard package on all FRCs and isn't necessarily an option as it was no cost. All FRCs have those tires, tranny, suspension and rear axle ratio.

Yep, what he said....now it may have Active Handling...You'll see the button labeled down by the shifter - and the guy may be refering to the "competitive driving" mode? Not sure, other than that...
