[ZR1] ZR1 Convertible?

Melting Slicks
Wow, I have to say that I'm a bit surprised by all of the "horrible" comments. Yellow is not my color choice, but I think it looks great. If it's a real ZR1 then someone has a lot of money to waste. If it's not, then I have a problem with the ZR1 badges. Just like the "posers" who completed a wide-body conversion on their C6 vert/coupe and put a Z06 badge on it... it's just not right.
Anyone know where the picture was taken? I have a feeling that if you post this in the general C6 section that someone has probably seen it or knows something about it.

I must be in the minority but I think it is AWESOME but I am partial to yellow, as a matter of fact I made an offer on a Yellow ZR1, so far it has been rejected.

Like others have said, I am not a huge fan of yellow but yellow is just a color. I actually think it looks good. From the pictures anyway it looks factory. Why not turn it into a convertible if the owner wanted one?
Does anyone that was commenting on the money really think this guy is worried about where his next check is coming from? Anyone who spends 120K on a car obviously has money to waste. A LS9 is a vert just wouldn't be the same but a ZR1 vert is definitely different.
Sometimes im really amazed at the people who bash someone elses cars on this forum just because its "different"

i like it. don't like the color, but that's my opinion. i love the look though.
and i know most don't agree, but i have no problem putting badges on a car if you have the stuff to back it up. if you take a C6 vert and add and LS7, widebody kit, and Z06 brakes and wheels, then i see no problem with the badges. however, i would have a problem if the person tried to sell it as a Z06. but any potential buyer should be skepitical at that, and if not, that's their problem.

Do we actually know they never stiffened up the chassis?? If this was done by a reputable company, that is the first thing they do, they are not dumb. For those that say the execution is horrible or they don't like it???? So, you hate convertible Corvettes???? cause there ain't know dif between this one and a GM one. Who cares that the owner did this to his car, he can do whatever he wants to it...maybe this owner should post some pics of some of the ridiculous mods some members on this forum have done to their Corvettes....
He certainly has that right, as I do when I said I don't like it. I don't, and it's no big deal.

LOVE IT!!!!!
Yes I was shouting.
I would have purchased a Z06 but the top didn't come down. Got to be able to see the sky and not through glass.
If I want to track a car, I want something with a full cage. Street cars need to stay on the street. I doubt this gentleman is worried about tracking this car.
Hope GM is paying attention, give us what we want! And a lot of us want Convertibles, Z06 and ZR1's.
Only change I would make is to add yellow stitching and yellow piping to the seats. Ho Hum about wheels.

I like it. The one thing that surprises me about this thread is I didn't know there was this much distaste for yellow. Kind of thought it was a mutually accepted good color for the Vette.
No ill will towards him using ZR1 emblems on the side if he pulled off the look perfectly. Which looks like he did.

You did. Instead of rolling your eyes just go back and read what you typed next time.
