So I finished the transaction today and the FRC is gone for good. It def sucks because I loved that car. Now it’s savings mode. I will be purchasing a C5 Z06 in May of next year unless I can find a very good deal on a LS3 C6. Think i’m hooked onto Corvette’s for life :thumbup I just keep telling myself I put it in winter mode early, and it will come out in the spring with more HP, possibly a diff color and def nicer : ) ---

I thought base C5’s were so much better than C5Z’s for the money?? ---

My argument was that for the price difference between a C5 Coupe/FRC and Z06 that you could have a faster car for less money. I still stand behind that argument but I never said it was “so much better”. ---

The FRC was hitting just over 70K, and that meant eventually I was going to have to look at an engine rebuild and other maintenance issues as well as the 90K tune-up. And it becomes next to impossible to sell them for any amount of money once they hit 100K or more. And right now prices on low mileage (\>20K) C5 Z’s are in the low 20’s. Stock or slightly modded. But if I can find a LS3 C6 in the mid to high 20’s, I will also consider that. ---

The LS1 in your old FRC would go for AT LEAST 200K with no major issues, and that’s modded and driven hard. ---
