Just a question here.....are the FRCs as lightweight as the Z06? Or were their further weight reductions with the Z06?

Beautiful car. It's amazing the deals that are out there on C5s if you're willing to look.
Congratulations on a great purchase!!

I think the frc is actually lighter by a slight bit.

The Z06 is 38 pounds lighter than a standard C5 hardtop thanks to weight-saving measures such as a titanium exhaust, thinner glass, lighter wheel rims, non-EMT tires, reduced sound proofing, fixed rear radio aerial, and a lighter battery.

Very nice! I wouldn't mind finding a FRC like that as a project car for the winter...

Kind of a shame to mod the **** out of it; it's so beautiful and rare, but I'd do the same thing. Only white car I really like is a C5, and the FRC body style is just the icing on the cake.

Very pretty, clean too. Too much modding and you will go from a low production gem to a lesser valued "also ran". My son has a '99 blk FRC, nice cars.
