Very nice. I am not a fan of black wheels on sports car UNLESS they have a polished lip.
None the less still a beautiful car and a great detail.

That is a VERY rare Vette your Pops has there!! :bow Only made in `99 in limited numbers. Personally...I think the bright red with the solid black rims is a GORGEOUS combo!!
Super detail too! :xyxthumbs

I agree on the polished lip comment. But the car looks great!

I see Zo6 body, but I don`t see Zo6 body trim :nixweiss
Nice cars. I love black wheels on sports cars when it fits. This seems to fit nicely.

+11 for red with black rims :D
Both look excellent. Those Vette hoods look stunning when detailed.

Mongoose: in `99 and `00 they made a limited number of FRC (fixed roof coupe) cars that were essencially the club racer special or maybe what you`d call a Z06 before it`s time. While they did not have any different HP numbers from the standard vette you could only get them in a 6 speed and with the Z51 sport suspension and they`re obviously lighter becuase of the weight loss from the rear glass. I`m not sure how much more was different but when I was thinking of a vette a couple of months back these were the cars that I was after.

That`s because it`s not a Z06... it`s a C5 FRC as opposed to a C5 Targa (FRC meaning Fixed Roof Coupe). Like WS6 mentioned, they are VERY rare.
However, I gotta say, I like the blue one better personally ;)

Personally I would want the targa; a vette is meant for on-road cruising. If I want a track car, I`ll get an F-body and mod it into sumbission :xyxthumbs

we would have...but it would look kinda silly on this size....we`d have to go with a plus size to get them to look nice....then we`d need a strong forged wheel that`s light....plus size tires.....so that`s like 3500$ or so.....what we did costed WAY less than that....and it is going to be an auto-x car so the whole black wheels theme goes along with that
