Default Magride in the build sheet?

Hey Guys,

I am looking at a Corvette for sale. It is a 2014 3LT Z51. The owner said he thought he bought Magride with it but I can't find it in the build sheet. Is it included in the 3LT package so its not specifically listed. I know I have seen it in the window stickers. I am pretty sure it is included in the Z51 package in later years, but I thought you had to request it for 2014.

What does it label the option as? For example, I believe in the window sticker it doesn't say NPP, it says Multinote performance exhaust.

Thanks.

On the build sheet, the suspension code will be "FE4" for mag ride. Non-mag ride cars are coded as "FE3"

It should be listed on the window sticker as an option since mag ride doesn't come standard with the Z51 package. It should be listed on the window sticker as "Suspension, Magnetic Selective Ride Control"

Thanks. He doesn't have it. I see the FE3. Darn. This car was in my back yard too.

that sucks, it's a fantastic feature to have if your area has potholes, crumbling, bumpy roads coupled with smooth pavement on other roads. I switch ride settings constantly while driving around here in Michigan all year long.

And FE6 if you have a Grand Sport or Z06. FE7 If Z06 with Z07.

Its not the end of the world if the car doesn’t have it. It’s a neat feature, for sure, but the car isn’t exactly useless without it.

OP,
Mag ride does not come with any other option like 3LT or Z51. It's a stand alone option. When I bought my C7 it was not on my "must have" list. However, the car I purchased has it. Now that I've got it, I wouldn't buy a Z51 without it. Sometimes I like the stiff ride of the Z51, sometimes I want a smoother ride while I cruise. Z51 with mag ride allows for both.
I don't feel the same about a base car. If I was buying a base C7, I don't think the mag ride is a necessity.
Those are my opinions, others have their own which is why mag ride is an option on the Stingray.

I think we are on the same page. I wanted a Z51 and have been keeping tabs on the over abundant threads regarding magride. The general consensus is if you have Z51, you should get it. If no Z51, the suspension is not much different.

I agree the car is not useless. But if I am going to spend 45k on a car, I am not skimping on the features I want.
