body style help?
Hey guys need help with a quick body question. I've been browsing used cars all over and have seen two different c5 body styles, but theyll both just be listed as coupes....
Heres one example: http://www.dragtimes.com/images/9113...t-Corvette.jpg
Notice how this one has a long extending back window.
Then this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rvette_Z06.jpg
Notice how the window's much shorter/steeper.
Whats the difference between the two?

The one with the big window is the coupe. The top comes off and you can put it in the "trunk" the second one is a FRC (fixed roof coupe) the top does not come off. In 1999 and 2000 the FRC had the regular LS1 engine and then in 2001 it became the Z06 like the one on your link. Hope this helps.
