Blur Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks for the notes. Don't know what to think about the cruise yet, but it sounds fun. Also don't know any hard-core car club people either, but all of you sure seem to love your rides, and nice rides they are!!! Look forward to Saturday and my first cruise...My car is almost totally stock...never really found a reason to add to it...Goodyear Eagles & some stickers and paint top the list of serious modifications. Some owner, huh?Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UVETTYA Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey Brian, welcome from Surprise. Don't feel bad about not modding your car. I owned an '03 Z06 for two years and didn't do anything to it but add a Blackwing intake. I've had my '04 Z for almost a year now and I'm just getting around to adding some performance mods. Corvette's are great cars stock, and once you start modding you can't stop. So enjoy your car for what it is. Looking forward to meeting you Saturday!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks...by the way...in the profile section in describing the type of Vette, the category that says 't-top, convertible, fixed...coupe', mine has the removable roof panel. Is that considered the fixed-roof coupe? I thought I heard that some of the newer vettes' don't have removable panels... Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UVETTYA Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 No. The FRC looks like this:Ok, just joking. In all seriousness, here's the real pic of the FRC or "fixed roof coupe" or the notch back, as some call it. It's only available in the C5 Z06 model.

Eddie44 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I would echo what Steve has said. My C5 is mechanically stock except for a blackwing and borla exhaust. As for your car, it is a coupe. The C5 coupes just happen to have a removeable roof section. And to correct what Steve said, the predecessor to the Z06 (99-00) were FRC's. They are the same body as the Z06 just not the same mechanics. Once the Z06 came out they dropped the standard FRC model. BTW, FRC stands for fixed roof coupe (no removeable roof section). Hope that helps with model identification. Hope you can make it Sat and look forward to meeting you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Great picture, actually looks real when you shrunk it. Thanks for the info on the C5's...pretty sad not knowing more, cuz I sure used to get into my cars starting in the 70's with my Starsky & Hutch-mobile. Saturday looks good, but hope there are no wine-drinking contests on Friday nite to blur pre-conceived plans... BrianPS - How do you insert a picture into this message??

Guest UVETTYA Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thanks Eddie. That makes sense. I didn't know they officially dropped the FRC designation on the '01 to '04 Z06. I knew the '99 -00's weren't the same mechanically as the '01 to '04's, but I've heard many on Z06vette.com still refer to the '01 to '04 Z06 as the FRC. So I figured that entire body style run from '99 to '04 was legitimately called the FRC, since, as you pointed out, there is no removable roof section. Live and learn.

SteveMaybe I wasn't clear, Z06's are still FRC to most people. I thought you were saying the only FRC's were Z06's. In 99-00 there was an FRC that wasn't a Z06. The Z06 didn't come out until 01. Are we totally confused now??? I use photobucket.com for hosting. It's a free site. You can also just insert a pic using the file attachment below.

No, you're right, I threw all the FRC body style cars into the Z06 basket, and that's not true. The '99 to '00's were indeed not Z06's mechanically as I intimated. Good eye and thanks for correcting me. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Togo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Thanks to everyone that has so graciously welcomed me to a club I should have joined a long time ago. very interesting statement from a guy who just last week told me he wanted to sell his car! i think once you go on the mystery cruise with us - thoughts of selling will be gone, and thoughts of - when the hell is the next cruise - will take over!
