FRC or Coupe?

I've been lookin at C5s... they are awesome, but I can't decide which one is better. The FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe) is lighter and stiffer.... but alot of people don't like the way it looks. I think it looks better than the coupe. What do you guys think?

FRC:

Coupe:

And I like the FRC's. To bad they only made them for one year('99). They only came with the 6 speed, Z51 suspension, and no heads up display. Sounds perfect to me.

The FRC isn't bad, but I'd still go with the coupe. Just something about the long back window that catches the eye.

They also made them in 2000... but only 7,000 were made. It looks like it's prolly easier just to buy a Z06 and ditch the fugly wheels.

Appearance wise I like the FRC way better. It just looks way more like a sports car... and it's lighter and stiffer.

I'd take a ZR1, 1993 - 1995, anyday. Especially after its been to the specialist, Mr. Lingenfelter himself. Lingenfelter beat the Mclaren F1 in a shootout but was disqualified because he ripped off the cats

But for this threads sake, I would definitly choose the coupe, targa, polished rims, red please.
