FRC...Best Looking
Is it just me? I don't think the coupes and verts can compete with the z06's and fixed roof coupes when it comes to visual architecture. Best looking vette by far!

Hate to admit this, but I was not a big fan of the C5 until I saw the FRC when it first came out. I really fell in love with the C5 then, and after that I started to appreciate all versions of it.
Of course i owned a C4 at the time, and it took a few years to win me over, I figure it will be the same way with the C6, It will grow on me. But the FRC knocked me out the first time I saw it

Call me crazy (I know, I know... "YOU'RE CRAZY!"), but I even think the FRC/Z looks great with the headlights up!
I always classified a "muscle car" (beyond falling into the time era of them) as a car that has an overall un-aerodynamic shape but that has the brawn to overcome it. Most of these cars look "tough" to me. Whereas the FRC/Z has a shapely nose and overall smooth look, the chopped rear window makes it look a lot less sleek than the coupe. Pop up the headlights, and it looks even less sleek. But that's the beauty of it -- the fact that it looks a little quirky and "blunt" makes it look tough to me.
I love it.

The FRC/Z06 is HANDS DOWN the best looking body style. And the Z06 will out perform the others. THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
