There is no chance FRC will win your pole as they are very rare. Most of them here over the Forum are Targa/Coupes

That being said, ONE MORE TIME, FRC hands down

I voted for the targa. Clearly I upset the balance.

I don't think this topic has ever been discussed here before.

Targa for me, a removable top or convertable was my first requirement, even before a 6-speed.

I knew I would not be getting a Z06.

Default FRC for Me!!

If someone is going to take their top off it won't be my C5!

I love my FRC. I had a '94 Cpe and it was a sqeak-o-matic.

I have the TARGA and I would much rather have the FRC/ZO6. I never take out my top and I just love the FRC look!
