I believe it was just 99-00, all the 01-04 Z06s were FRC, but you couldn't get an 01-04 FRC without the Z06

99-00 are the original FRC's with LS1's
01 and Up are the FRC's that were Z06s.

99-00 FRC's don't have the Z06 suspension either.

I think all of them came with large doses of nitrous from the factory as well.
