Baldick says the system isolates and smoothes the action of each tire, resulting in less bouncing, vibration and noise. On bumpy or slick surfaces, the system integrates with traction control to assure maximum stability.

"It also works with the anti-lock brakes to keep the vehicle balanced and poised," Baldick says. It is the only system without electro-mechanical values and no small moving parts. It consists of MR fluid-based monotube shock absorbers, a sensor set and on-board controller.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control is available on Corvette coupe and convertible models for 2003.

Corvette adds new standard equipment on coupe and convertible models for 2003, including foglamps, sport seats, power passenger seat, dual zone auto HVAC (on coupe and convertible), and a parcel net and luggage shade on the coupe.

Regardless of what model year or equipment level the Vette has, Baldick believes, the relationship between owner and brand is "a sacred one, and Corvette owners made it loud and clear that a major celebration was in order. In fact, it was more of a demand."

There's nothing to compare with the devotion of the Corvette community, Baldick says, and "That's why Chevrolet is answering the call for a major blowout. You name something Corvette; we've got it. A 50th Anniversary only happens once, and we're determined to make Corvette's one to remember."

Next June, Corvette enthusiasts from around the world will gather in Tennessee and Kentucky for a look back at Corvette's first 50 years and a look ahead to the next 50.
