You gotta love the "Why spend thousands more for the real thing". Umm... maybe because we want the LS6 ?

Well first off. If memory serves me correct. 2001 was the first year for the C-5 Z-06. That thing is a 2000. What a dumb butt.

That hurts my brain. I guess he has a good point though: who would want more horsepower, torque, handling...?

No Front Screens
I looked through all the pics figuring that if the guy used the word "clone" then this must be one well-done knockoff. It doesn't even have the front screens! He went through all the work to put on the rear brake screens (probably not functional) and doesn't put on the front ones.

Well it does say Z-06 clone so it is not being sold as the real thing. Z06s came along in 2001, not 2000. Too many noticable differences.

What a chump. And Canadians have the nerve to make fun of us "Yanks"? Nice way to ruin the future collector value of a FRC. Wouldn't it be poetic justice if someone pried the ducts and badges off this fake? From a fellow FRC owner: SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!
