I'm glad to see you installed the cross flags emblem on the new nose. Looks much better.

I went to a dealership to trade in my 02 silver coupe for an 02 silver z06 a few months back. When both cars were parked next to each other and I had a chance to walk around, it became clear that the coupe was the more attractive car to me. I left the dealership and spent the money I just saved on performance and style mods and now find myself much happier having picked the coupe.

Both are attractive - compare them side by side and see which is right for you. Then think how great it was to have that choice in what you want.

Wow. Such a debate on whether the coupe of the FRC/Z06 is the better looking.



Cause we all really know deep down that the convertible is the sexiest of the group.

Only because they look like a FRC with the top up.

like said previously, any vette is better than no vette besides the best version ever made was this one:

IB4TL. Coupe's hatchback adds to the lines. FRC/Z06's roof just drops off like a cliff into the trunk area, looks like a fishbowl to me. Still, can't deny the rigidity. Both has it's pros, both has it's cons.

I'm just the opposite as you. The Z06 body style is so much better looking than the coupe. The FRC is just so BAD AZZ looking !

I'm glad they made the Z06 into what they did. Fixed roof, lighter, and 6 speed only. When I see a fellow Z06 on the road I know that they got a "real" drivers car... No Auto's here...
