Any words of wisdom prior to purchasing? Is there a definitive means of identifying the factory options utilizing the vin?
Thanks,

PS, I have read approx 50 + pages of this tread.

...or email the vin to socialmedia@gm.com and ask for a build sheet.

Heath, could you elaborate a bit on the MRC vs non MRC. Getting mixed signals from the dealer as to the car having it or not. Supposed to email me a copy of the factory invoice, does not have the window sticker.
The car will be used for weekend joy rides and cruise in's. It will not see any track-time.

You will be looking for RPO Code F55 on the invoice. If that is there then it has MRC. MRC is an adjustable suspension that makes the ride so much smoother. Found on Caddy’s and Camaro’s. Now being found on a few SUVs from GM too.

Love it on mine. It’s a make or break feature for me.

Per GM: “Available Magnetic Ride Control technology reads the road every millisecond and changes damping in just 10 to 15 milliseconds. As you plunge into a corner, a charge hits the patented suspension fluid, stiffening the suspension and reducing body roll instantaneously”

When I first bought the car, I test drove two back-to-back. One with MRC, one without. At the time, I couldn't tell the difference and I was hesitant to spend the extra $1500 or whatever it was in order to have it.

Fast forward 6 months, I was given a loaner Camaro while mine was having the differential replaced. The loaner did not have MRC, and I noticed IMMEDIATELY. There is a world of difference between the two, and MRC is 100% worth it.

I think the guys summed it up pretty good.

You WANT mag ride. In "tour" the ride is closer to an Impala (we had a '16 2LTZ), when in "track" the car is planted and stiff. You can configure the suspension, steering, and exhaust note to any combo you want as well.

Can he play with the exhaust note even without NPP? I thought not, but could be wrong.

No. The NPP valves opening/closing are what changes the sound.
