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 DOHC = Double Over Head Cam DRM = Doug Rippie Motorsports ECM = Electronic Control Module (or is it Engine Control Module?) ET = Elapsed Time FBI = (Fast Boyz of Illinois) ??? FSM = Field Service Manual HVAC = Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning IH = Injector Housing INFL REST = Inflatable Restraint (air bag) LAB = Lingenfelter Aero Body LPE = Lingenfelter Performance Engineering LSV = Lingenfelter Super Vette LTPWS = Low Tire Pressure Waring System MY = Model Year NCM = National Corvette Museum ODB I & II = On-Board Diagnostics one and two OP = Original Post or Original Poster PKE = Passive Keyless Entry (1993-1996) RWHP = Rear Wheel Horse Power SES = Service Engine Soon light SGC - South Georgia Corvettes TT = Twin Turbo VATS = Vehicle Anti-Theft System WAZOO = Washington (DC) Area ZR-1 Owners Organization PS think of this as a new "Two Word" game except it's useful and is an acronym instead of two words.

Re: Common Forum Acronyms
This is a great idea, I think we should have a master list. Just for those days I get a brain freeze and can't remember I'll have a list to go to. I'll add one I haven't seen yet.
tt= twin turbo |
