If they want to steal the car, either car, non of the above makes any difference.

I have been driving corvette converts since I was 17 and now 50 years later I still have never had one broken into or a top vandalized.

I would not go so far as to say the Vert looks better than the Coupe, but, it sure looks nice. I'd say it would be a real beauty if the price difference was only 2 grand or less. Then I'd be impressed.

I disagree with the op. Love the coupe, not a fan of the vert.

There are some pics that way on the forum. Threads come and go so fast, and so many are for the same topics, I don't remember where it was. But they are out there. I think it looks great with the top up too.

While the top is down, it looks like the Corvette I'm used to seeing. Don't care for the rag top either.

Default Coupe vs convertible

I have had both. Why does it matter which you prefer?

These vert vs coupe threads are like arguing which ice cream flavor is best...chocolate of vanilla. It's a matter of personal preference and I prefer the vert after having owned both.

Never bought a convertible because of the winters we have up here in Montreal Canada last 2 days was -25 Celcius.

However I know someone who said the convertibles tend to be warmer inside, then a hardtop because less metal to freeze the interior. Is that true?

Wow! This is the first picture that I have seen of the Vert.

I like it! I didn't like the C 6 although it did grow on me. I have a C 5 Vert which I love.

I'm not a woman nor a ***.

Just my 2 cents worth.

It's just as easy to break the window. Hope this doesn't hinder your rest stops.
Buy what you really want.
