I cant see if those are Z06 badges or not but I have an FRC and I would never pass my car off as an Z06 . Just my opinion.

Very nice. Looks so much cleaner with no BSM's. I checked out at couple of FRC's before buying my Z06. The plan was to make it Z with the badging, rims, cluster, ect. IMO it looks better than a stock FRC. Some people think that Z06's are special Not really.

I think it looks great. I'm going to pull off my BSM soon...

IMO, lose the badges, though. If a Z06 isn't special, you don't need them. Once you get the turbo in, you can get some made that say Z0sickz, lol...

Badging it falsely is as bad as Honda kids running around with Type-R stickers...... I hope the rear brake inlets are actually functional.



kthxbye

Good choice on the Z06 motorsports, they're a big improvement. I love black wheels but they just don't look right if they don't have the polished lip. Also, I would NEVER badge it as a Z06. It would be the same thing as if someone put an SS badge on their V6 camaro. You're car is not a Z, you should be proud fo your FRC, don't disguise it to look like something it's not.

If you think a z is just a FRC with a few more horsepower you would be sorrily mistaken.

Lets see:


Better Engine
Better Block
Better Pistons
Increased Compression
More Aggressive Cam
Better Powertrain
Better Clutch
Stonger Driveshaft
Better Transmission which has a higher rev limiter
More aggressive Gear Ratio
Rear brake cooling ducts
Better Suspension
Different wheels/tires (sizes)
Better Air Intake
Better Exhaust including a titanium cat-back
Appearance

The pistons are different?! I agree though, lose the ricey badges. It's an easy fake to spot since you dont have the front screens and the passenger door has a keyhole.

While you are wrong on a couple points. Essentially ..........ya pretty much. FRC is a night and day difference between a z06, especially a 02+.

LS6 pistons are cast from high-strength M142 aluminum alloy and reshaped with a slightly different profile than those in the LS1. In side view, the LS6 pistons have a slight barrel shape, almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The new alloy increases engine durability at racetrack operating levels, while the shape reduces internal mechanical noise.

I agree, the ZO6 badges have to go, and someone hook up the group with a dealer who carries FRC badges. I think that would set apart the pack. I don't want anyone confusing my N/A 473 rwhp 431 rwtq LG Motorsports Original with a GM ZO6. J/K LOL

Looks nice. As an owner of a Z06, does not bother me if you have those badges on the car. But custom-content badges would get + points from me.

You should be proud of your FRC! Pull of those vents and the badges and then you've got something!

I'd make custom badges like the stock Z06 badges that say "FRC"

To each his own...but I always got pissed off when someone rolled next to me in a GT mustang with cobra emblems on it,...and i'd be in a cobra. It's hard not to laugh.
