10th character is an "X", which means that vehicle is a 1999 model. That's a C5. This is the C6 forum. Maybe someone in the C5 forum can help you.

Sean,

This is a RPO decoder based on the Vin #, and it shows all the RPO options based on that vin for the particular vehicle.
I simply upload the data into a program to fit it on one page. You need password access to the site that supplies these codes.
This is not a basic decoder as posted on the C6 corvette site

It's not a Corvette and the "3" for the first character in the VIN means it was not made in the USA.
