Welcome! Hope your dream comes true soon!

I think you'll find a big price difference in the '99-'00 FRC's from the '01 and higher. The Z06 was introduced in '01 to "replace" the FRC (same body style, just had the Z06 performance enhancements). Absolutely wonderful car. I just prefer top down driving myself! Good Luck!

True, the corvette is a better sports vehical but how many of you can take a load of stuff to the landfill and then go straight to the track and do a 13 second quarter mile? I thought about selling the Lightning and getting the vette but I do love my truck. So I'll wait. It will make me want it more, thats all. Thanks again for the welcome.

I can't wait. To me, there is something about owning a vette that just seems cool. Everybody wants one at somepoint in there life and I am really looking forward to the day I have mine.
Funny story, the other day, I went to the local chevy dealer to see if they had any trade-in's on the lot for a good price. The guy said no and then tried to sell me a new GTO saying it has the 6.0 with a six speed manual. I couldn't believe he was trying to talk me out of the vette and into getting a GTO Oh well.

Hold out for the car you want , I did and stumbled into a pretty good from a Nissan dealer and got mt '99 BLK/BLK FRC and couldn't be happier. Bonus being my 15yr old daughter still doesn't want to learn to drive the 6spd although she could shift her dirt bike.Good Luck in your search and don't be afraid to drive for a clean car !
