Just the reverse, actually. Z51 Perf Handling package includes power steering cooler and FE3 Sport Suspension. See

I was told once by C5 geek that only ~40 white hardtops received the HUD. In all the years I've owned this car I've only seen one other white HT and it was going opposite of me on the interstate
There was only 483 HUDS spread out over 33,270 cars in 99! Very rare!

I originally purchased my '99 FRC because the price was right, had low miles and I love the look! (It's Torch Red, because all Corvettes are red!)

Price is out the window now, as I've added a 408 CID Supercharged stroker, 3:90 rear end and a bunch of other stuff.

I get a lot of people asking if it's a ZO6, I say no, it's faster!!!

I've also just purchased a HUD for about $500.

I bought a used black 2000 FRC and it has dual climate power seat but witout HUD. However, I did just add a heads and cam package, it screams now!

I got a 2000 black FRC with the following:

HUD
Active Handling/Competition Mode
Dual Climate Control
Z51
Foglights (I think all come with this option)
Bose system + 12-Disc Changer

FRCs do not have the following optiions:
Memory seats
Sport-type seats (all of them come with the standard seats)
Telescopic steering column

I love the stance of the FRC compared to the Coupe and vert, plus the 200 lbs weight reduction is a plus for a track-ready car WHEN STOCK.
