Pretty good video on the FRC.

Nice, clean, low mileage car.....
Couple things I noticed:
1. He failed to mention the add-on Z06 screens in the front bumper in his list of modifications and the chrome exhaust plate (no big deal) and,
2. At approx 7:25 (~) in the video, he claims the car has Active Handling "as all the other Corvettes" he says, except this one does not. At approx 1:20 (~), the interior shot shows no AH switch, it only shows the Traction Control switch (button). All (C5) Corvettes do NOT have Active Handling.

Good video, but I went nuts when he drug not one mind you, but both of his feet across the door sill getting in. That's one of my pet peeves.

I agree, if it has traction control, then it has active handling, they are integrated systems. Push the button once, you turn off traction control and can spin the tires. Hold it down for like ten seconds, it goes into competition mode and turns off traction control and active handling. A very squirrely, but fun, mode with a high horsepower

Any "integration" (OR as standard equipment) that you say may have come in later production years.
Fact remains: that car does NOT have AH any more than mine does.

If what you say is true, then I feel cheated. My 1999 Hardtop does NOT have AH and I dare say that was an OPTION on the 2000 (in the video) as well

Edit........i was wrong
Mine does say active handling it was standard, Sorry for the confusion.

.... Noticed it's not a fully loaded FRC, no HUD, but still a nice car. I was hoping to hear what he was asking/selling it for. Whatever side of the fence your on, I love FRC's, but I'm partial, lol !! It would make for a nice stable mate, one red, one black one !!.......Forgot to mention, I'd like to have that hood ornament as a stable mate as well........ !!

Therefore you may find that more or most first year FRC's don't have active handling, HUD, or dual zone a/c (about the only options that were available). I could be completely wrong.
