1999 Chevrolet Corvette Hardtop | Retro Review 

Crazy how he managed to make such an accurate prediction

“Brain-dead smart cars” lol

Dirt cheap C6 is a tad of a stretch unless it’s a POS

The C5 and C6 are still good, affordable platforms. I'd love to get my hands on either in decent condition.

I had a C6 Corvette as a Hertz Rental at SFO years back. I can tell you that this is what makes America great. An average person can buy and maintain this car. Although I more of a AMG person, but I can understand why this car is well loved. I only had a few days with this car, and I fell in love with this. My high school friend is a truck driver, and he owns a Corvette. You don’t need a royalty/ royalty title or trust fund to own this car. Parts are interchangeable with most GM products. At least the older models are just big blocks that don’t need a lot of care and maintenance. Sure Porsches and AMG are a lot of fun, but you don’t need to make sure a trust fund is set for your kids to ensure that your toy is eating up your retirement savings. This thing will bring a smile on your face with almost average car expenses and can be driven every day.

I especially like the 97-99's ❤

Dirt Cheep C4 owner here, can confirm it's the best sports car deal anyone can get their hands on imo

Looks way better than the hatchback

Dennis Collins probably bought them all up.

It always was for me.

Absolutely. I see them a lot at car shows too.

Less mass, less wind noise, more rigid, what is not to like.

Damn I never actually realized the difference and I've claimed the Corvette as my favorite car since child-hood.

👍

Rare birds. Sold a house to a guy that had a white on black FRC. His was a 2000.

The c6-c7 were good looking cars. The new c8 looks like someone made a 458 off a blurry fax.

These are my favorite too. I wouldn't mind more power in C4 but they look great!

Because weight matters they're only 3200 lbs and have awesome aero. It's as fast as alot of 400-500 hp cars today. It isn't just about power but everyone always focuses on not only power but peak power...that is a small part of the equation.

@@midnight347 you got it

They have them on their retro playlist. Go to there and watch them if you’re interested

I didn't get Crown Victoria LX Sport and Mercury Marauder 2004 Super Charge version if you get show me❤​@@chrisdooley1184

I was at an auto show when the C6 Targa was new and got to sit in it because I knew what it was. I thought the targas were the best of both worlds. It was always a close second for me with the hardtop coupe❤❤

He's wrong you could get HUD on the FRC.

A lot of people think that. All C5 Z06's are FRC's but not all FRC's are Z06's. 1999 and 2000 were FRC only. From 2001 through 2004, they were all Z06's.

That was the case 01-04. These were 99-00 before the c5z.

It was 01-04 these were 99-00 only and before the c5z.

I like the c6 as my favorite but these are just as awesome

Sadly, that's becoming too much of a reality today...

They have a nice engine I will give that. The rest of it is crap.

I own a 99 FRC. It has the HUD, 6 way power seat as well as the electronic dual zone climate control. I have a Corvette dealer brochure from 1999 which stated these options were not available on the FRC model. Chevrolet had already produced the marketing materials before changing their mind about adding these options and did not go back and update the brochure. Not counting the Z06 (also an FRC body) which was produced from 2001 - 2004, there were only around 6,000 FRC's coupes made between 99 and 2000.

i think he looks way more like gus fring

Except that it wasn’t made any better. lasagna is stiffer than the chassis in these. I rode in a few and it was like riding on an old spring mattress with no damping. Jittery and bouncy. Plenty of grip but that’s about all. If the tires let loose in a corner even a professional race driver will have trouble keeping it on the road. Crap!! 😂

They were nasty,,,what we all did back in the day was have the stock wheels chromed. Min was white with chrome wheels…nice for the timd.
