Depending on what you're willing to accept, how long you can wait, and how hard you want to look, you can get a clean, higher-mileage '99-00 FRC for under $20K. Heck, with the C6s hitting the streets, and the '06 Z06 to debut this January, it might not even be that hard.

Just don't try to buy MINE!

Sorry for your SHO, but we'd gladly welcome you to our world.

Have a good one,
Mike

You can get good numbers out of a sho. They love boost. I owned one for a short while.......370fwhp. It was a rocket under boost. The problem is that the rest of the car isnt as durable (similar to many chevys out there, so lets not go the whole boring ford pos route).

Good run!

Edit: Added my sig so I dont get shouted down as a clueless newbie.
I not sure about that! I had an LX 5.0 Coupe and a Ford GT! While bith were good vehicles in strength, they don't have a rear end on them worth ****! As far as stability, look at the ford to chevy ration in your local junk yard and what do you see! (More fords than Chevy)!

Just my opinion!
