New from central Tx
Hello all, new to the forum. Looking at picking up a nice modded FRC or a stock or modded C5 Z06. Any info on what years are best and what to look for would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Welcome to the forum! I know they made the FRC in 99 and then in 01 went with the 385hp ZO6 and then for 2002-04 the ZO6 was 405 hp. So that's something to consider. 20 hp isn't much in this type of car and sometimes you can find a better deal on the 01 with slightly less hp. I looked at all C5's when I was shopping for my vette and decent mileage FRC coupes and ZO6 were a little out of my range but if it were me I'd really try and get into a ZO6 they're great cars!
