Artic White FRC #2
Artic White FRC #2 So as it goes I sold my 99 AW FRC Corvette just about a year and a half ago. Old FRD I loved the car and everything about it, the one you ALWAYS miss. Everyone always asked about it, pretty rare car, drove great, looked great, but I had the C6Z itch. So I scratched it, and had fun, but did not 'enjoy' it as much as I would have thought, so off it went.
I was going to build a car, buy a car, but after 3 failed deals, I sat, and sat.
This car is identical to my last one, except it has BOSE. This car has 147k miles (100k more than the last), on its 3rd owner and the last owner (67 year old gentleman)owned it from 31k miles to current. Have very since maintenance record from the dealership, where he had everything done.
This nice thing about the car is it has miles, and I will not be afraid to mod the crap out of it like the last one.
So no quite a year after I bought it here it is, I had it up for sale BUT was not going to give it away.
I forgot to start a thread here, but have many winter mods planned, so I thought I would update.
Mods so far:
Matte White 3M wrap
L5 rear fenders, not painted under wrap, have stock fenders still
19/20 ISS Forged F6R Wheels Continental DW tires
Blackwing intake
Emissions deleted
C6Z shifter and ****

Clear corners with Amber LEDs
High power LED reverse lamps
License plate LEDs

Nice car! Got to love Arctic White. Too bad the top doesn't go down 
Actually, I'm working with someone who's coming out with a removable hard top molded right off the FRC/Z top. Should have that in a month or so.
Chin spoiler goes on this weekend.

Coilovers.....one of the best mods anyone could ever do to any car. Should be perfect then. Dig the wheels. However,...I feel I am slacking on the wide body setup, thanks to everyone have fender flares now. Bastards
I'm on my second set of coilovers now. I'm running PFADT Feather Lights now and they are tremendous. They have more travel than the last setup so I don't have to spring it so tight that the ride quality goes to hell. They handle the 345x30x19's very well which the others didn't. I also run the PFADT 3 piece sway bars and the car handles pancake flat but no stiffer than a stock C5Z setup.
