Default Targa
Is there a way to get a ZR1 with the targa roof. I know it is not factory but I thought maybe someone does it after market. Top off motoring is a must have for me in my next Vette but I love the looks of the ZR1. Don't really want to go to a soft top (427) Thanks!

I know of a few guys who converted their own Z06s and documented it in build threads... if you do a search on it, you should be able to find it fairly quickly

Google tends to work much better than CF for searches, BTW

Aluminum chassis allows for too much flex and will cause the bolt down areas to shift. You will twist the chassis basically.

Thanks for the input gents. Lots to consider. Still toying with buying a C5 and doing a build from scratch but still a bit undecided.
