My convertible was as quiet as my coupe.

Just wanted to let you know in case you were concerned about noise.

While it's true that a 16th century Italian painter is 'Spendy', I think the link you are really looking for is http://www.caravaggiocorvettes.com

I really was not concerned with noise its just that I have been getting
thrown out of various dragstrips since the NHRA requires a roll cage or
a roll bar at 13.99 or below for verts and Iam running in the 12s

As indicated above, there are several to choose from. They do look nice on the C5 IMO.

NHRA has a new rule that lets pure stock verts to run down to 11.49 without a roll bar. I think you can add headers and exhaust mods along with drag radials and still run in pure stock.
