Default 99 fixed hard top specs

I have a 1999 Fixed hardtop , z51 6 speed. i was told by the owner of Los Angeles Performance Devision that it comes with 380 hp. is this true? i test drive a stock 1999 and it wasnt close fast to mine. he didnt tell me, he told a friend of mine who is friends with him.

Major difference of FRC vs Coupe is 200 lbs. That will make it feel faster.

the stiffer chassis and beefy suspension should makeore fun' to drive even though it may not be literally faster.

I really enjoy my Fixed roof set up, even if its got 97k on it:-D
