Default Corvette Question

Is it possible to get a C5 Z06 in a non-coupe? I'm looking, probably going in the market in a couple of months. I just don't like that huge picnic table on the back design. Thanks,

Not to my knowledge; I think the FRCs are all like that as well.

To make a little clear, I'm not looking or a vert, I'm looking for the style that has the long rear window, not the short little cockpit thing. . .

I want this;



Not this;


Handling wise, is the Z06 that much better set up than a standard C5?

All C5 Z06's are the fixed roof coupe style. So the answer is no.

The black coupe you posted a pic of isn't a Z06, it's a coupe. All Z06's are FRC's.

and yes, stock for stock, the zo6 is set up better....thats the whole idea...

but if you want a coupe, then buy a coupe, and use the extra money you saved from buying it vice a zo6 to get suspension pieces.

once you start modding, it doesnt really matter if its a coupe or a Z...its about how much money you have
