Default Active Handling Questions...

Which C5's have active handling?
What exactly is active handling?
What does it include?
What is the RPO code for it?

Does active handling and traction control have the same RPO code?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

It was avail after the middle of production. I ordered my '98 in March of 98 and it was available as an option (JL4) for $500.

It's option JL4 and became available on '99 cars (some people were able to order it with the '98 cars as well).

Active Handling was recalibrated for 2001, and also became standard for 2001, so there should be no RPO for 2001 and later Corvettes.
