The FRC is the lightest and stiffest body style. It was the obvious choice for the highest performance Vette. GM even did some other little weight saving things like leaving out the auto antenna and going to titanium exhaust. They probably could have saved even more weight, but it would have required a lot of re-engineering (and lots of $$).
