Default I know its not a Z but had to post

I was in the hunt for something new and different (911 C4S), but could not stray away from the Corvette.

Sold the 95 and bought this ultra low mileage, unmolested 99. It had just over 44k on it when it was delivered to our shop. It is a Artic White, with black interior FRC. It is a complete stipper model, down to a cassette player and manual AC controls. It is exactly what I wanted and when I found it I could not let it go, but got an incredible deal.

Since getting it home i have done the following:

2001 Z06 Wheels with new Toyo Proxes T1S
C6 Z06 Shocks with a Zip lowering kit front and rear
Smooth coupler
CCA catch can with new PCV and check valve
C6 Z06 shifter and know(not installed yet)
House of HID 6000k HID low beam
Shorty antenna
Z06 Ti exhaust

I am going to add a head and cam package, as well as some longtubes into the future. Just really enjoying driving it right now.

The FRC models seem to be getting rarer by the day, and white even more so. The C5 ZO6 is a direct result of the success of the FRC.

WOW, that is a beautiful car...wear it well and best of luck with it. There's just something about the FRC body that has me...and in white it is stunning.

Smart buy. FRC styling and prices are in the mid to low teens.

The Z06 or the FRC is the only way to go in a C5
