Default White FRC's and Z06's

Which one was more common? Were there more FRC's or Z06's? I'm trying to see my chances of finding a FRC over a Z06, but if there are more of the latter then I guess i'll have to "settle" for the Z06.

I don't know production numbers but I have seen many more artic white FRCs than I have seen speedway white Z06s. They are noticably different so know what you want.

There were about 600 artic white frc's built in 99-00 and I think 311 speedway white zo6's built in 01. A speedway white zo6 is ultra rare...if you find one with the mod red interior I would snap it up quickly.

The speedway white has a yellowish tint to it where as the artic white is more of a pure white. I kinda favor the speedway white, but they are both nice colors.

Just to give you an idea. I have spent the last two years travelling Louisiana and Mississippi for work and I have not seen another white Z06 yet. I have seen more other white vettes and FRCs though.

352 SW 01' Z's

137 of them had the mod red interior...the rarest of the Z's!

I "believe" the FRC in the Nassau Blue were rather rare as well....

Good luck with your searches!

Seems there are 137 with that interior option according to this seller.

I am not a fan of the Red really. Yet another Speedway white Zo6...

Like mentioned above they are really rare... both the Z and the FRC. I definately lucked out when I stumbled across mine in my own town. I would consider selling it for the right price though.

I'm sure your "right price" is out of my price range at the moment. I love your car though, it is absolutely gorgeous. White just suits the FRC/Z06 like nothing else.

i am in the dfw area like insomz. i dont know him but i have seen a couple of the white z06's. when i used to use a shop around here 2 other vette guys used to have them and i would see them. pretty sure one guy was named kurt and i was told he sold his. the other was a guy named joe who had a ls2 402 in his.

something else they only made white z06s in 01. they dont make c6 z06s either. so that 352 or whatever is it.

Well, i've come across two white frc's.... maybe one, maybe two WHITE Z06's.

I think there where 315 white frc's in 99...and 311 or something in 00. Don't quote me on that though...but the numbers are around there, give or take a couple of digit's.
