Looking for another FRC
OK - I have a serious problem but I am looking for another 99-00 FRC or possibly 01 ZO6. A red one would like nice next to the white FRC and blue ZO6 cars but color does not really matter. Looking for a well cared for high mile car....
This way Jake, Josh and I can all run the track at the same time or maybe we will have at least one track ready for a track day....

He sucked water into it - that is a bad thing. Water is incompressible - tends to bend stuff in the motor....Now how that happened is important!

I'd either change inakes or avoid puddles.

Not real high mileage on our car, but it's been a great track car for us. I have a '99 FRC for sale, with a set of new Hoosiers, only one day of use on them, mounted on Magnesium wheels.
The whole package I'll let go for $21,500 and I can deliver.

Driving in the rain is just more car handling experience.

Not trying to steal the thread, but I have a 99FRC with 63,000 miles. I was thinking that this was probably to many miles on the car to do many track days. What do you guys think?

No way - my 99FRC has 125,000 miles on it and runs the track hard! I had to put a new clutch, etc in it but otherwise it has been consumables...
My 94 Z28 had over 200,000 miles on it (I did upgrade the suspension on it)
Get that car out there and ride.....or sell it to me real cheap
