frc corvettes had the same ls1 and were rated with the same hp/tq as the other coupe,and convertible corvettes.Also the frc's only came in a 6spd no automatic choice, and all came with the z51 suspension, and were available with less options than the other vettes wich is another reason they were lighter.

He pretty much said it all, without me in the car and a half a tank of gas my FRC weighed 3160. Oh yeah and the FRC is the most sexy vette ever
