Adjustable suspension question
I have a '05,C6 coupe with the adjustable suspension option. I was only able to drive it a couple of weeks before putting it away for winter,but it didn't seem to make any difference which setting it was on. Is the difference that subtle or is there a problem with my cars set-up?

The difference between modes isn't a soft versus a firm ride per se...the sport mode actually 'tightens-up' handling or steering more than the firmness of the ride. In a safe place try driving at a fairly slow speed (25 -30 mph) and try turning the steering wheel rapidly from side to side...do this in both modes and you should notice the difference. Naturally, be careful not to have an accident doing this.
If you want some good information about the F55 system, look to the following links:

If you want to read what I consider to be the 'definitive' article about the F55 system in the Corvette, PM me your email address and I can send it to you (probably tomorrow as I out of here in a minute).
