Default Question about Corvettes
Mabey a stupid question but what do Corvette guys mean when describe their car as a FRC? Example 2000 FRC Corvette black on black.

C5 guys mean FIXED ROOF COUPE.

C6 guys mean FLYING ROOF CLUB because some early cars had delaminating roof panels.

The C6 Z06 is a fixed roof, but not like the C5Z. C6Z has a hatch, C5Z has a trunk.

Only the C6 could pull off the FRC look. Great looking car.

That is a C5, hence his confusion!!

ALL non-ragtop C6es are hatches.
