Default The 427 Convertable is awsome

I just came back from a rip with the roof down in my new 427.
I just had to say, what a great car.
I have owned a 2008 coupe and a 2011 CF Z06...The 2013 convertable 427 is by far the best corvette for me. I believe there is nothing better in a naturally aspirated convertable than my car.
What a great day for a drive.

Having had several C6s and now having the 427 Convertible, I'm totally in agreement with you that it is a great car. I've been very fortunate and my C6s have covered many variations of the platform starting from 2005 and covering coupes, convertible and GS models, Among them I've been able to experience both manual and automatic transmissions, and both Z51 and F55 suspensions as well as many different comfort and convenience options.

The car that has it all is the 427 Convertible. I've enjoyed every single C6 that I've been lucky enough to have, but the one that enjoy the most is the 427 Convertible.

I couldn't be any happier with my 427. I've had two other C6 convertibles. They were great but the 427 is just something special.

Hey Rocky, yours is looking very good, but of course I'm somewhat biased :-)

They are really exceptional and georgous cars. This week I bought my 5th NCM raffle ticket for one, since I could never afford one. Well, needless to say I did not win. It was my last chance to own one, but, it was just a hope. So guys, enjoy those great cars and when you see me ride by, I'll be waving.

If I had a choice between a C7 or a 427 C6 I would probably take the 427. This evening I spent about 2 hours searching the country for a color specific 427. Found only one in MD at what I think is a small dealer. Their internet price is the MSRP. Plus I have a 2010 GS convertible to unload.

The low, wide stance of the convertible looks aggressive to me plus the draw of the 427 engine makes this my dream machine.

That would be a really tough call to make. I always said that too till I saw the C7 last weekend. I'm glad I dont have to make that decision..

OP...fantastic looking car.

Loving mine. Over 6k on mine. I don't garage queen my car so.... Never had so many heads turning between the color combination of the 60th and the stripes on the soft top, it makes everyone drool! Nice to be able to sport around a car that just isn't out there for everyone to see often.

I really love my 427 because of the looks and the performance. It has a carbon fiber front clip, the Z06 drivetrain, ZR1 chassis, wide body, and a smooth suspension. It's really a fun roadster with exceptional power and really manuevers well.

I always get compliments on the 427, and I alway look forward to driving it.
