Default c6 FRC..would you.....

Would you have ordered an FRC, instead of one of the other body styles, if it were available? Yeah I know the ZO6 is fixed,I'm talking C5 style FRC.

Definitely not. On the C5 I prefered the lines of the coupe, and I'm assuming it would be the same with the C6. Plus (even more important) I take off the top every chance I get... basically, if it's not raining, the top's off!

So you're talking a FRC that looks like a Vert, with a not much larger trunk. Not for me, thanks.

I would not. I know it saved weight on the C5 Z06 but I was never a fan of that look at all.

Most definitely would......someone photoshopped one a few years back(think it was yellow) and it looked fantastic.

Here's what it would look like compliments of Smoothline. I wouldn't particularly want one but it's an option that some might want.

Nope! I like the lines of the coupe as it is today better. The added storage room is a bonus!

No. Wasn't my kind of look in the C5 either.

Definitely not. There is no point to building a C6 FRC.

ABsolutely - I love my 2000 FRC so I think my 08 would look cool that way too. Especially with the widebody.

The 'bubbleback' hatchback-style look that was introduced over 30 years ago on the 1978 C3 has grown very old and looks dated... time to get rid of it.

No way. What would I win? A fact that I can no longer drive with an open top and less cargo space?
