My 99 FRC
 

Well I picked up a 99 FRC about 5-6 months ago and absolutely love the car. My previous car was an 08 350z and the vette is better in every single way. The FRC has 50k on it and is in great shape.
I bought it completely stock and now I have a Vararam and LG headers on the way. I recently picked up some C5Z wheels and now the car looks proper! I also have a set of TI mufflers waiting to be installed. Next to be purchased will be a LS6 intake and most likely a LS7 clutch kit.
Bone stock I ran the car (I did have the c5z wheels with street tires on the car) and it ran a 12.90@108 with a 1.9 sixty. The clutch held me back from running faster as it was slipping on the launch if I launched higher than 3000rpms. So for the spring a clutch will be needed it seems.

Here are a few pics of the FRC!

Very nice gota love the looks of an FRC.:rock:

The 99 FRC . . . .
 

Is the true street machine. I just had my 2003 50th. Anniversary coupe out and it is everything I could want in a road car. 1. I sit in the car perfectly, (You can knock down 3-400 miles in a day and not be a bit tired when you stop for the night. Curvy roads or dodging potholes ? nothings better that the C5, (I have replaced my Goodyear's with the Michelin Pilot sports PS/2 ZP and it's like a totally different car. ( Best money I ever spent was for the Micheline's) I can now hear the radio, I don't use it much as I love listening to my LS1 pouring through the 'Corsa' cat-backs system.

I've own a lot of cars and muscle cars in my day, but nothing can compare with the responsiveness and sheer seat-of-the-pants feeling you get out of a C5 Corvette. I've owned mine for close to ten years now and it's still like the day I picked it up from the dealership. :thumbs:

B..U..T..FULL!! :D :thumbs: :cheers:

Very nice job on the pictures! You have skeels there! Oh, and beautiful car too.
Have fun tweaking it!

Very nice, score another FRC for the home state! Did you find it locally or have to travel a bit?

I had to travel a bit. I picked the car up about 30 min. west of nashville and it was originally a texas car. BUT I brought her back to KY!!

And thanks for the kind words fellas!!

Looks like you found a nice one!

Great looking car - the FRC shape is the best looking IMO, but I am biased😃

Congratulations. Great cars-love my '99.

:iagree: But I am biased as well.

Borat still makes me laugh 'till this day!

I loved watching Da Ali G show on HBO in the 90's before became he became recognizable in the states and retired the character.

I also have a twin to your car and I live just across the river from you in Cincy. Gotta love a FRC.

Looks good :thumbs:

Why was the FRC not carried over into the C6?
 

Why was the FRC not carried over into the C6 line-up? I could be interested in the C6s if there was a FRC, but then I am biased owning a 99FRC. Not trying to start any wars just thinking the C6 is missing a cool looking car? :willy:

Nice. I've got one almost like it!

FRC was made from 1999 til 2000,, then they made it a Z06...(FRC = Pre-Z ):thumbs:

That could be the next big thing, crafting a Frc roof to go on the C6 convertibles. As the C6's come down in price more people may be inclined to do this type of modification. We can only guess why GM didn't keep the roof line alive. My guess is the aero effect came into play and with the power of the LS7 And LS9 the FRC lost out.

Love me some Pewter FRC goodness. :smash:

Great looking ride, but I may not be impartial

Beautiful car. Pewter is a great color on the C5.

:iagree:

My wife relly wanted the coupe so thats what we did. But, the FRC will always be my absolute favorite! Awesome car.

:thumbs::thumbs:

Very nice... (I'm partial though, I have a Black one.)

Very nice! And I love my black FRC with the same wheels. You have great taste!

Welcome to the FRC Family. Love my 99 FRC.
