Does he know how to pull codes? pull them and post them up. does he have the magnetic ride control? my brothers old boss's vette does the same thing and he told me it was a bad shock or something... i dont know exactly it aint my car and i dont have the option.

Another possibility could be a battery that is on it's way out, when a battery in a C5 is going bad it could set false trouble codes.

New here, but if his shocks have been changed out or he has a bad shock it will send the code and limit top speed. You know the littel O2 plugs that tell your car you still have the o2 sensors? Well they make the same for the shocks. There are 8 sensors(2 for each wheel) and they sell the 8 "caps" that will tell your car that it is working proporlyeven if you have aftermarket shocks. I know the sight that sells them, but i dont know if they are a sponsor or not, so can i mention there name here?
