Default Common Forum Acronyms

The purpose of this thread is to document acronyms we're using such that there is one place to go and lookup or add new acronyms.

By convention, please cut and paste this list into you comment and add more acronyms. It shouldn't be hard to come up with 90% of them in short order. Please insert you addition in alphabetical order. Product codes such as FX3 probably do not belong here.

ABS = Anti-lock Brake System
BG = Bowling Green (KY)
C4 = A Corvette MY 1984 to 1996
CAB = Callaway Aero Body
CCM = Central Control Module
CHP = Crankshaft Horse Power
CHMSL = Center High-Mount Stop Light
DFCO = Deceleration Fuel Cut Off

ET = Elapsed Time
FBI = (Fast Boyz of Illinois) ???
FSM = Field Service Manual
HVAC = Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
