FRC Corvette?
insurence is 70 a month full coverage on my 00 FRC.
plus my FRC was fully loaded with hud and cheaper..
not point in going z06 for me. the 50 extra hp will be made up with a new motor anyway
I do like the rear brake vents/scoops though. still thinking about doing that on my FRC
OP,
FRC was made in 99-00. ZO6 was made in 01-04. same body excect the FRC had the normal 350hp ls1 that the coupes got and the Z06 got the 405hp ls6.

Frc came with
Z51 suspension only
6 speed tranny
Base seats
Black interior
You could order options such as
Bose
Active handling
HUD
And yes the FRC was stiffer and it wasn't glued like the C6. I should know I've had 8 C5's and 1 was a Z06 and my current FRC the rest were coupes.

Believe what you want, but I'll believe GM engineering over some guy on a forum.
-Depending on the source, the Coupe is 22 or 23 Hz with the top on and 20.5 or 21 Hz with the top off
-Z06 is 24 Hz
-Convertible is 20 Hz
Why does the Z06 have a stiffer frame, is it the fixed roof? No, the fixed roof is just a glued on piece of plastic. It has the vert frame bracing added to the coupe frame
Your right it is just glued on the windshield but I was right it is the stiffest C5.
All Frc are Z51 cars so they are close in handling to the Z06 but slightly softer. Also FRC came with the awful runflat tires and 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 whees. Z06 had non run flats and 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 for better handling.
Actually it has the same body as a normal C5 vert just with a hardtop. I've never done the brake ducts but know of a few people that have. You just have to properly measure them out. There are a few templates out there also.
