Default A coup and a Vert? different
Did you know a FRC and a vert are very different. No just because one has a top that comes down and the other you take off. or that u can run a FRC on the track and not a vert without a roll bar.
Well I needed two sun visors I bought from a fellow CF member got them today. wow they are smaller the mirrors are not lighted and it has some airbag sticker on both sides. Now that I own the visor I'm willing to sell or trade for the right ones. what else do you know about the Vert and an FRC?

The only way to take the top off of an FRC is with a Sawzall...

Yea.. I thought that FRC was a Coupe with the roof of a Z06... In other words, a Couple that has no removable targa top.

I thought that was what they were going to do when I heard they were coming out with it. That is actually why I prefer the C6 Z06 over the C5 Z06. The new one looks like a coupe without a removable roof.
