Finally Joining You Guys! I've had my Trans Am for a little over a year and while it's been such a fun vehicle to drive and build I had a great opportunity to buy my dads 99 FRC for payoff ($9,500) and that's exactly how much I coincidentally got out of my ws6 
This vehicle was bought in Lubbock TX new and sold to us last year in Lubbock. Currently has 70,000 miles on it and the only modifications are Short Throw shifter with red cue ball, Borla Stinger Cat-Back, and Breathless Performance Ram Air. It is also a fully loaded FRC with HUD, dual climate control, active handling, bose, power driver seat, CD Changer, and body moldings.
I've always wanted a hardtop c5 wether it be an FRC or z06 as they're my FAVORITE cars. There's just something about the way they look that I love more than any other car I've seen; but enough with the chit chat, here she is!

I can't wait to start modding this one. I'm looking into finishing the bolt on's but this is my first 6-speed as I've always been an automatic guy (I know I know 
), so I've been looking into a lighter flywheel when I get a new clutch, but I've heard a lighter flywheel causes idle issues? It's just going to be a new learning experience I guess since I've never owned a 6 speed, but I'll be looking to you guys for help!

If I change the clutch in the Z06 i'll go with one in it most likely as well.

Yeah, I have a stage 2 clutch by spec. It holds 590ft lbs torque. I have a nice fat cam, intake and headers. Over 400 whp. I can run with 500hp cars because of the weight. I weigh 3210 with me in it and a half tank of gas. I do some street racing. With some drag radials, bam. 550 HP cars go down. Enjoy

Where are you located in Arkansas? I'm actually about to transfer to the University of Arkansas in Ft. Smith.
