My Camaro has been a body shop for two weeks getting the top painted under warranty. It's a hardtop and this is the second time. I shouldn't have told them I was in no hurry. Anyway, I was griping about it during lunch at a "Street Survival" school I was helping with. Another club member overheard me and offered me a ride in his '02 Z06. WOW. I'm just kicking the idea around right now, but is there a year to stay away from? Any preferred years? Is a Z06 that much better than a standard Corvette? Just wondering!

Another thing to consider is maintenance/upgrades/consumable costs. F-body stuff is cheap compared to Vette stuff. Race rubber/shock upgrades etc. are more expensive and doing a clutch in a Vette is no small feat from what I have seen. I noticed similar price drops and have seen some real nice C5Z's with lower miles for just over 20-22k. FRC's are tough to find and are almost as much when you do find them.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Duh! I'm an idiot. One from my car club for sale. Modded, but an interesting FRC.
