Questions about '03 C5
Questions about '03 C5 I posted this elsewhere, but I think this is the place. I am going tomorrow to look at a '03 C5 FRC, red, auto, 27k mi for $31,800. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? I could either spend $8k modding the WS6 for just put it in the C5 and drive. Car would be a daily driver with probably zero track time. Any help would be appreciated.

THEY NEVER MADE A 2003 FRC. THE 2003 FRC is called the Z06. Also FRC were NEVER autos. Also that seems like a pretty good price for an 03. Just make sure who is ever selling it to to you is not lying about the year.

^^ Matt is correct, No 2003 FRC and No FRC came with Auto.
The FRCs were made in 1999 - 2000 only.
WADDISME, I strongly recommend that you do some research on history/model of C5 so that you'll have some knowledge about them to help you make a decision when buying a C5.

My bad - I do not have my vette terminology down yet. It is definitely not a Z06. I am in training classes most of the day so I will not have time to research. Just checking here during breaks. It seems like a good price to me.

Yes definatly do your reasearch. If you can, get a Z06, because of all the performance you and get the, in my opinon, the best damn looking C5. But, if you are destined to get an AUTO, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PERFORMANCE AXLE!!!!! I can stress this enough, it may not seem it but 3.15's are WAYYYYYY better than 2.73's!! Turst me i bought a 1999 C5 auto with 2.73's and i took it back because of the fact that it was SLOWER than my 2002 AUTO SS i traded it for.

I think its sounds overpriced for a coupe. about right for a 2003 Z06 if its in great shape.

Yup, I was going to say, for that or a couple thousand more, you could easily be driving a Z06. Mine is worth about $33-35K with 26K miles. For $32K and 27K miles, that car had better be a Z06, otherwise it's priced too high for the current market, IMO.

I would imagine my 2001 Z06 even with the cam,headers, gears etc and 39K miles is worth about 29 grand if I were lucky.
Great car....in fact I dig it so much I wouldn't sell it. (but if I were I'd be lucky to get that amount) Figure an 02 would an extra grand or two (and I might be high on valuation of the 2001 Z06 but I can't bring myself to type its real worth in the market place if in fact it were lower.
