Default FRC vs ZO6

Hi just need a little help deciding. Have an opportunity to purchase a 2000 FRC 1 owner car with 14k miles Pewter with Black loaded up fo 19000 or a 2004 Zo6 33k miles Red /Mod int. 2 owner car for 21800. Both are super clean. The FRC was owned by a collector and practically brand new. Not sure if it's priced to high. Any suggestions ?? Thanks

While the FRC might be slightly "rarer" than the Z06, I'd go with the Z06.

$19K is defintely too high for a 2000 FRC, low miles or not!

Good Luck

About 4 months ago I bought a 99 FRC from a forum member, same color combo, similar miles, Borla exhaust and vararam intake for $16,000. Love my FRC, they are cheaper on insurance(it was in my case anyway) if that matters to you. Hope that helps

Depends on what you want. I'd take the Z06 just based on the fact that it performs so well stock that I wouldnt really have to do anything to it, other than drive it or something simple like an intake and tune.... The FRC I would end up spending the difference of buying a Z06 just to make the FRC perform how I want... headers, exhaust, intake, tune etc etc

Then again if the FRC is super mint, that holds alot of value for me also.

Easy decision. ZO6. 4 years newer, better car, and priced much, much better. Rarity isn't really a factor with these cars as far as pricing goes.

I have a 99 pewter FRC and love it. I have owned the car for 9 years and don't regret one minute. But if I had the choice that you have now I would go for the ZO6.

Nothing wrong with an Frc but that Frc is way too expensive.
