What is an FRC????

[MistaZ]

Dont they have a vette that is similar to the Z06 in the earlier years of the c5? What are the numbers? Also do any of the z06's have that removable hard top???? :confused:

The FRC, or "Fixed Roof Coupe", was offered from 99-00 as a lower cost alternative to the Coupe. It had the same powerplant/drivetrain as the Coupe, but fewer options, and no removable targa-top. In otherwords, it was a basic hardtop Corvette. It wasn't terribly popular at the time.

Corvette salvaged the FRC platform by using it as the basis for it's new high performance model Corvette- the Z06. This made sense, since the hard top model is lighter and more ridgid than the Coupe. All Z06's are FRC's, and all FRC's from 01-present are Z06's.

Z06's do not have a removable top. :)

Thanks! How am I supposed to cruise at sunset. I have always had t tops and am thinking about a Z06. I guess I will have to sacrifice.:(

There are a couple shops out there that do Z06 covertible conversions, but it's big bucks.

for the cost of the conversion, you can do h/c on a vert or a s/c and beat the hell outa a stock z06. :D

What about just a removable top conversion. I dont like convertables anyways.:confused:
