[QUOTE="vladSVT, post: 11701580, member: 96095"] ya you know small stuff like almost 300lbs, LS6 heads, overall chassis strength. :bash: I mean again not trying to bash, the car is clean and sounds like a monster, you cant go wrong with a corvette of any body style, just that for the price of a C5 plus cam supporting mods he could have easily gotten a z which will hold more value, there arnt 100 of them everywhere you go you know.[/QUOTE] Are you talking about the FRC in particular or the Z? FRC's came with LS1s in them with ls1 heads, the Z06's came with LS6s. The major differences in hatch vs z06 in the suspension/gearing. Curb weight of a hatch - 3212 Curb weight of FRC/Z06 - 3130 Weight difference not even 100lb. (thats according to corvetteforums) On wiki the Z06 lists as only 38lb lighter then the hatch, which is probably false but shows that the weight difference is not drastic. Chassis strength yes, but chances are you're not going all out drag car anyway so it doesn't matter for a regular street racer. As far as hold their value I agree, and I do like the look of the side brake ducts, and the mesh in the front bumper. Of course there other small differences in the interior/dash etc and whatever what makes a z06 unique. But to me (just my opinion purely) if you're going to mod a corvette (stroker/head cam etc) why bother spending extra $ on a Z when you can have a regular model for alot less, and have alot more money to mod! Not trying to sound like a smartass just stating my opinion! [/QUOTE]
