Hey Norm!!!!
Some people go through life thinking that if they say something with enough authority then it must be true. We, in the biz, refer to these people as morons.
I was looking over there and saw that particular post. Almost decided to reply then thought... Nah... Look at what he's saying... Look at where he is... Nah!!!
Guy probably needs to read ACAR. Then he needs to probably talk to people involved.
From what I can gather the Z06 was planned as early as 99 with mules completed. That was the same year they brought out the vanilla FRC (If there is, in fact, such a thing as a vanilla FRC). It stands to reason that, as stated previously, the engineering just wasn't ready ... Or perhaps, if it had gone better we would have been "blessed" with the vert, hatchback, FRC,
AND the Z06?
Having owned a vert, and road tested the coupe, my personal taste runs to the FRC. Since they made only 6000 of them, my next logical new car purchase will be a Z06.
Take care Bud!
Dan
