If you like the FRC design for the Z06 like most of us probably do, then go to this link and vote. Remember, fastback is another name for a hatchback and both belong to Pintos and Vegas.

this is wat i posted:

six years? most Z28's where given the C5 a hard time during the first three years.. until 2001 the corvette was struggling against many sports cars.. its only in 2001 2002 2003 did the C5 start devloping a class of its own(in terms of speed it ws beteween the high speed exotic and regualr sports cars) and that is due to the fact that a lot of Z06 technology is integrated unto the coupe.. i am not trying to say that the coupe is slow or outdated.. but i am trying to show how the marketing fruits of the Z06 have their vey postive effect on the C5.

I like the FRC. I never wanted a C5 until I saw the Z06. The FRC makes the style.

And to think Hill vetoed the LS6 in the F-car...

A fastback Z06? Come on guys, show your disapproval.

Ron, I know what you mean. I agree the hatchback is for the vegas, pintos and pacers. I understand why they have the hatchback but for that same reason is why it should not have the "performance" option too. Obviously the days of having options for drive trains are long gone but I think that would be a step back in the right direction. I think they should offer 2 performance options for the hatchback and drop top. Offer the LS1 for the folks that just want a vette to cruise in, like my 50+ year old neighbor lady. Then offer an LS2 for the hatchbackers or top downers that want more power, like my other neighbor, but who don't the luxury sacrifices that the big performance packages typically call for. I think they should have a unique model that is the true performance model. Personally I like the FRC. I think it has the best looking lines. From the things I have been reading, I certainly take them with a "lump" salt, the new model might not be the FRC body style as you FRCTom and I know and love. As the rumor mongers tell it, it would be a fastback as you called it. I am not yet sure how I would like that, certainly better than the hatchback. Remember, All 1963 Z06s were fastbacks with the split window, no hatchbacks at all in those days. Would a fastback with a split window for the new Z06 be an appropriate model? That might be a decent "retro" style look along with providing a stiffer body and more aerodynamics. I guess we will just have to wait and see. There will probably be as many people talking about this as there are with the engine power / displacement, the overall weight and the price. Only the folks working on it know for sure at this time. All I can do is enjoy what I have at this time and wait for the real unveiling.

PS. I would go with FRCTom's info.
