Thats why GM had brought it up in the first place to make an entry level car for the younger crowd.
Of course the Vette guys would vote it down
The FRC wound up costing almost as much (within $500.00)as the removable roof panel Vettes.
They spit balled a stripper Vette to focus groups when they were debuting the C5 FRC
It got a big thumbs down from the Vette group and that idea died right there.
I read that in Corvette Magazine.
