Welcome to the FRC brotherhood I stumbled into a deal on mine,wasn't looking for one.Man am I glad I did,,I love this car,,and I'm sure you'll love it to. Kind of an exclusive club,,The #s I've heard was 1200 U.S. FRCs in 2000.You won't see a lot of them coming the other way!! Another + is you don't have to worry about joining the other FRC club!!

I haven't seen #'s on import versus export figures for the FRC but according to the total production numbers, there were 2090 FRC's in 2000 (compared to 4031 in 1999 and 5700+ Z06's in 2001).

Definately don't see a lot of them out there. Hope you both enjoy your FRC's.

You must have worked with Eddie, that is a GREAT guy and very friendly. The owner Todd is also on here too in case you need to ask any questions. I got my car from them last December and couldn't be happier! Congrats!
