The Z06 replaced the Hardtop produced in model years 1999 and 2000:

The '99 and '00 FRCs were the forerunners to the Z06.

You know its unique when even most Corvette owners didnt know they made them :-)

Even though its no Z06, just the uniqueness of the car is what I really like. The first day I brought home my 99 Hardtop my neighbor (a 04 C5 owner himself) was like "damn you got the Z06". I said uhhh, no
