The lower one appears to be the base C7 convertible, the upper appears to have the optional performance package

I am not 100% convinced the top one isn't slightly wider in the fenders than the lower one.

looking at the rear brake rotors and the tire's sidewalls, it appears that the top photo has larger diameter wheels and lower aspect ratio tires to maintain the same OD as the car's tires in the lower photo.

Could be...different wheels...top color...it looks like a slightly shorter, more narrow spoiler makes the rear end look smaller.

Part of this is camo padding that makes it look like a C6...

The convertible top of the beige one looks noticeably taller than the blue one.

i dont mind those wheels.

If i were considering a C7, and im not, a vert might be the way to go. I dont really like the jalopnik drawing showing the quarter windows and this C7 vert looks a lot like the C6.

In another set of pics, I noticed that the beige one apparently had a much shorter mouth than the coupe (and I would think the other vert as well). But I ain't too sure.

Hmmm, Ox , do you think the C7 with the beige top might be the NBA edition?

Not really. As we have seen, pro athletes seem to care less even when they are given a Corvette.

Yeah - darn the "Panda" anyway - and I'm (obviously) a big Giants fan! How dare he disrespect the Corvette!!! I guess it just doesn't fit the economic bracket of those multi million/year types.......

He doesn't understand the concept of sponsored work. But they don't have to anymore.

I don't waste my time watching these guys throwing ***** back and forth. I just heard about it.

The top car has the twin turbo 6.2 engine, the 7 speed manual, and the StingRay handling and braking package.

The bottom car has the base 6.2 Di motor, the 8-speed Auto and the F55 Magnetic Ride III™ suspension.


Just kidding - the tops and wheels are different, what else can we tell?

I can't comment on all athletes but I can say that when Eli Manning was given a GS convertible for being named MVP at the conclusion of last years Super Bowl, he was standoff-ish when being presented the keys because he is sponsored by Toyota...not because he does not like Corvettes.

If toyota was giving me 10 million (or whatever it is they are giving him) for saying "I like toyota," I would be hesitent too accept a GM product (in front of the world) too.
