Default New C7 Purchase Question

I just recently purchased a used 14 1LT Z51 and this may be a stupid question but how can I tell if it has the Magnetic Selective Ride Control option?

The mag ride shocks are black and non mag ride are yellow.

Open the hood and see if there is an electrical line running from the top of the shock absorber (easiest to see on driver's side). No electronic connection = No MSRC.

Thanks for the quick response looks like it didn't come with that option, the shocks are yellow.

No Worries My Friend!

I too have a 1LT Z51 without Magnetic Ride and it is awesome!

How about some pictures of your new Vette?

That's an awesome looking Cyber Gray Z51! Even w/o Mag, it'll still handle like on rails. Congrats!

I elected not to get Mag Ride as well. Now you can keep it in Sport or Track, have no effect on the ride and get the steering, throttle and NPP off/on benefits assuming you have that option! It’s like a switch for the NPP. There is a change in traction control that should considered as well. I use Sport 95% of the time.

Thanks guys, I have another question for yall. I used to have a 03 Z06 and I put a 3M clear bra on the front lip and on the side mirrors can any of you recommend one for my C7? My 3M one did a great job but after a year or so I noticed bubbles in it that were really annoying.
