I just got mine the other day its a 98 but it only had 28k miles on it for $22k. Threw down my enlistment bonus for it but Im glad that I did that because to me it was worth it. I was also looking at m3's but there arent any in my neck of the woods that I could afford. Here is what mine looks like its the dealer pic havent had time yet to wash it and take pix. Ill probably only be leaving Iraq with around 33k-35k when I come back excluding my bonus but I'm only a Sgt. and single so no BAH. My gunner is married and is a SPC is makin about 5k a month gotta love the hawaii BAH rates . Excuse my ignornance but what is an FRC Vette? Thanks

FRC = fixed roof coupe. It's the same body style as the Z06 where the roof can't be removed and the rear window slopes down sharply and there a rear "trunk" like the convertibles.

MID 20S Z06S???? LOL i dont think so,haha u cant get a base model corvette lol an 02 for that matter for mid 20s!! i was gonna buy a mint 05 26k mile Z51 3lt with the nav for 31 and tax most Z06 C5s are going for atleast that when said and done, and further more if future value means anything to you than id delete any corvette c5 or c6 that isnt a Z06 becouse inevitably its the Z06 cars that are going to hold thier value.....sure u can get anything for a deal if it needs tires brakes and has had the crap kicked out of it for the last 5 years of its life....lets just keep comparisons fair, to get an 02Z06 in the same condition as a mint 06 Z51 its going to cost the same or realy really close......lol but if u get a pounded on C5Z for 25k that doesnt all the sudden mean thats the standard..............its funny when u see that one guy........aww man i got my C5Z with chrome wheels a vara ram and LTs and this and that all for 25k<<i just gotta lol when i see guys lke this


so to make a long story short get what car u want based on what u prefer not what u can afford becouse the 2 cars u are comparing arent that far off from each other at all.............but its kind of a dooshbag move to go online and ask everyone else what kind of car "you" should get.........u have seen them both im sure.........what looks better?

thanks for the info on frc I dont know where u guys are from but in KY there is some 02 03's goin for just under 25k miles are kinda high but I didnt see any z06's when I was lookin. Mine was in mint condition like I said the only thing that sux was that it was a 98 but for the milage you couldnt beat the price imo.
