If it has mag-ride it will have wires running into top of the shock towers, if not no mag-ride. The below is a C8, however shows you what to look for.

Take your VIN # to a Chevrolet dealer, and get a history of service and your build sheet of options on your used 2016.

I too have a '16 2LT convertible with Z-51 but no mag ride. And yes we need lots of pics. Colors? Auto or manual? Options? Mileage? Any aero pieces?

Another way is to look at the back shock color if you see Yellow then your Corvette does not have magnetic ride.
