Default Question regarding FRC on a C5

What does FRC refer to on a C5, is it a specific option or does it have something to do with the Z06 option, thanks for the help. Tom

FRC = Fuel Rail Covers
or
FRC = Fixed Roof Coupe
or
FRC = Flying Roof Club.

The c5 comes in three body styles.
1. The vert or convertable
2. the coupe with removable roof like the old T tops and
3. the fixed roof coupe with a solid non removable roof.

If you have #2 you can also belong to the frc or flying roof club. That happens when you forget to lock the roof in place before driving. Never been there yet!!!!!

In its original form the FRC or fixed roof coupe was to be an entry level Corvette with very few option choices. It evolved into the most expensive Corvette in 2001 as the Z06.
