Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / February 20082002 Body Style
What do you call the body style of a 2002 with a trunk? Not the lift back type. It is the same body style as a Z06. Thanks, Travis There was a "FRC" (Fixed roof coupe) before the Z06. > What do you call the body style of a 2002 with a trunk? Not the lift back > type.

However, later the Z06 came out in the normal coupe body style and the FRC was dropped. Sort of proved that it was a GM marketing F-up and not a 'preferred stiffer body'. This is just another case of GM marketing screwing up, spinning this fact into trying to make buyers believe this was done on purpose and is a plus, then proving they screwed up by dropping the body style. The FRC was really meant as a 'cheaper' or less desireable Corvette. The billy bob. A real marketing screwup.

Looks like you were thinking in terms of the frame-suspension-coachwork formula that existed before 1939. The 1940 Nash changed all that. Or, maybe you are just caught up in busses, trucks and SUVs. Yea cats folks, bringing this guy up to date is going to be a 'too hard' ...someone put him out of his misery ... or, chase him out of the gene pool. -- pj > The FRC was another GM fuckup. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>> Thanks, >>> Travis > OK, I'll nibble at that bait.... > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > ...someone put him out of his misery ... or, chase him out of the gene > pool. The programmers, in their mercy and wisdom, provided the "ig" list so that those of us who value our time won't have to wade through the muck. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops) Guess you really don't know as much as you think you do. The Z06 (C5 or C6) frame and body has NEVER been the same as the "normal" coupe. > The FRC was another GM fuckup. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>> Thanks, >>> Travis |
