There's a reason they never made the Frc style after the c5 :-). Coupes are so much better

Love the coupe- better in winter than a convert and better than z06 because you have removable panel!!!!

Don't mean to highjack the post but your wheels look great!! I have chrome z06 wheels and want to add the drilled and slotted rotors and yours look great. Can you tell me exactly what you have behind the wheel so I can copy you??
This is what mine looks like now.http://forums.corvetteforum.com/atta...1&d=1387227816

The Targa Top makes the car so much more appealing as a touring car vs the FRC which is handsome but very one dimensional.

The open air nature of the vehicle with the top out is a close as you can get to a convertible without all the drawbacks (security (break ins) and safety (rollover protection). The driving experience is fantastic.

If you plan to modify the drivetrain for big horsepower the FRC wins hands down. It is just stiffer and can handle the twist forces produced by a high torque motor.
