Some FRC questions
I am looking for some facts on the frc corvettes as I just purchased one two weeks ago. This is my second vette with my first being an 02 Z06. I was basically wanting to know what options and things they came with from the factory. I thought I read somewhere that all frc cars had the z51 suspension package but I don't see z51 listed in my rpo codes and I found another place saying only 300 of the 2000 frcs built in 2000 had the z51 package 
. I am just trying to get some clear answers on what I have. Any info or links are very appreciated.

I think father larry is a little too optimistic on the current and future value of the hard top.

A few quick facts.....there were a few more than 4000 made in 99' and a few more than 2000 in 2000. Only about 1000 were black in 99' and 500 in 2000. All had Z-51 package, it weighs roughly 55lbs less than the coupe and convertible. Could be ordered with all the options as the coupe and conv: hud, memory, A/H......

Not till late in the run was the hud an option.

I was close, haha, actually I didn't know that. I have read many books about the FRC's and never saw that mentioned. Thanks for the update!

Besides, White is a much better color and much more rare than black.

Your car looks good! but I kinda have a thing for black! Not just in vette's!!! It sucks too, because it is the hardest to keep clean!!!

I wish....then the transmission was next and it said that the 4 speed was optional 
That was when I put down that book and grabbed the next one. There are a lot of great books.....but a lot of them are incorrect.....don't always believe everything that you see unless you have verified it with other sources!!!
