I prefer the fastback/hatchback look myself, was one of the changes I was really happy to see on the C6 Z06, bothered me on the C5, especially with the already huge rear of the C5. This FRC does look significantly better than the C5 though.

That chop is awesome. That is how the C6 Z06 should have looked. The FRC makes the zee-oh-six look different from other vette's. That's the only downside to new Z06, at a glance to the untrained eye it looks like a regular vette.

I like the FRC on the C5 Z06, but I prefer the way the 06 Z06 looks without it, still looks sweet though. Hmmmm....maybe for the Blue Devil.....

If they had made the C6 Z06 a FRC with Titanium exhaust it would be nearly 3000 lbs flat...

Exactly. The rear end just looks downright stupid with the FRC.

BTW, why are we referring to this as the "FRC" ZO6, when the new ZO6 actually has a fixed roof as it is?

I'd say the proper name for this is "notchback" rather than the current hatchback because the current hatchback ZO6 really is a FRC.

I agree, the C5 FRC/ZO6 didn't look that good either, massive rear end with no shape.

If you could compare an eagle eye rear view of this photoshop to the real ZO6 you'd see just how off this thing looks.

No...it looks alot like the C5, w/ standard lights rather than flip-up. I really don't like the C5's proportions, but i love C4s and C6s
