what engine is this i am assuming its an ls6 02+?

 

The brake ducts, Z06 screens, wheels, calipers, even interior I can understand, but why did you badge it as a Z06?

 

and the $64,000 question is ... what do you answer when someone asks "hey, is that a z06?"

 

 

I first say, it's a '99, what do you think? just to see if they know much about Vette history and go from there.

 

Uh, they were free and what the heck???? I mean, they DO come off if you want them to.

 

No, just apparently a very well built LS1 that was put together on a Wednesday or Thursday - LOL. Seriously, the current heads had some 'minor' work done to them by the previous owner which, coupled with an exceptionally talented guy with a computer and LS1 programmer, accounts for the extra ponies

 

Although its a beautifull car, when you says "its a Z06 and then some," you couldnt be further from the truth..

The ENTIRE drivetrain is different... Motor, Heads, Torque Tube, Tranny, and Rear end. Heck even the electronic hardware is different.

Not to mention suspension, and exhaust.

So basically what I am understanding is, is you have a hopped up LS1 that has the appearence mods of a Z06...

 

Once you put the badges on, you crossed the line IMHO.

 

Don't forget the glass is thinner on Z06 too.

Break Brake, potato potato, tomato tomato. Everybody is a critic.

 

I like the car. It looks great man, BUT; the Z06 badges are rice....


(oh and that crap on the tail lights has to go too )

 

Whatever floats your boat but just to let you know, the Z badges on the fenders and in general are not exactly where they are supposed to be

 

I think the finishing touch for your car since it is a 99 would be to change the passanger side door handle with an 00+ (no Key Hole), this way people can't pick it apart without looking at the VIN or Head castings, etc..

It's your car, you can do what you want - I love my 2000 FRC and think it looks great. One think i HATE about the Z's are the brake ducts, i think they look like such an afterthought and is one of the things that (IMHO) make my car look better then a Z. but to each their own.

 

Take those junky/gaudy chrome flags off the taillights and you got yourself a nice ride. Nice work. (except for those taillight covers) Now you cant tell me that you can stand behind that car and not think that its a little too much.

 

Those tail light covers are the ugliest thing made for any car ever on earth at any point in history.

 

How do you REALLY feel about them??

 

I'm not trying to be rude like some people on this thread.

You have a nice car and everything but yes just get rid of the zo6 badges and perhaps have a logo put over the zo6 on the seats and you're done. No matter what you do the VIN is not for a zo6 and it wasn't made a ZO6 from the factory...there's nothing wrong with that I don't have a Z and I'm very happy with my coupe as should you be with your frc since they are rare and the back end looks great

 

I think all would be perfect if you get rid of the tails, and put the LS1 badges on instead of the Z06 ones....

(you can get the LS1 badges pretty cheap, and they are in the same style as the Z06 ones.)

 

good point, many people don't realize this
