Default C6 controls?

I saw the below photo on a web page which was selling a C6. What are the 2 controls for?

Lower left is for the traction/active handling control and the right selector is for the F55 magnetic shock suspension control.

They are C6 controls.

My current C6 (2012) has both of them.

That was a typo, I've fixed it (I think).

Interesting, the ad where I found this picture said nothing about magnetic selective ride control in the text, yet the picture shows that it has it. If I decide to check out the car further, I'll make sure that the picture goes with the car I'm looking at.

if you are buying from a lot, even a gm dealer lot, you might be surprised at how incredibly dumb the salespeople are about corvettes. Now, ask them about a malibu, or volt, and they will quote everything they ever learned. Just don't ask them what F55 means.....

Some owners have updated their center console/radio bezel with one of the newer CF models (like the pic) and they may have just purchased one with the MSRC **** on it.

If they don't have the F55 shocks (check the RPO tag in the glove box) they may have wired it for some other purpose, like exhaust/muffler control for example.

If possible, look at the RPO codes in the car glove box for "F55."
