Default handling package

So I got my 86 vert this summer and I keep getting asked if it has the special handling package , how does one find that out ( size of sway bars , shocks ) ?

The line sheet has a series of codes on it. Off the top of my head, can't remeber exactly where it is, but I think it is in one of the little compartments in the luggage area. Like Z51 is a handling package, which yours probably has. [8D]

I could be totally wrong here, but I thought the Z51 option wasn't available on the convertibles; at least not 86 to like 89 or so anyways... could be wrong there. I *believe* there was a Z52 option available, which was still aggresive, but not rally racin' aggresive....

I didn't mean to sound like I was correctin' ya there, bro; you are definately one of the biggest helps around these forums and know a LOT more about these cars than I do.... And when I say a LOT, I mean a LOT!

You rock, mech!!
