What one are you choosing?

Why?

I like both and have a 2011 GS vert. Hard choice.

From the "What would you build" threads, there are only a few convertibles chosen.

I am one of them. Not sure why, cost? Most coupes probably will not see a track either.

The Boss (wife + CFO) likes the drop top. I like the drop top. My '13, 427 and my 96 collector edition are verts. To me there is nothing like the open air top when cruising.

I haven't liked convertible vettes since the 60's but I REALLY like the Z06 convertible's lines myself, very tough choice!

IMO verts look ugly with the top up. The fact that the coupe has a targa is a better compromise to me being that you can still get that open air feel.

Coupe....I prefer the looks and the performance advantage.....

....but I think the vert looks stunning with the top down....

BOBSZ06

Would there be more road noise with the soft top convertible Z06? I like the styling of the top compared to the hatch look...biased as I had a C5 hard top.

I personally like the look of the vert with the top UP. It has a much more aggressive look imo. I have never owned a vert or particulary cared for them but my Z will be a vert.

Listen to Tadge Jeuchter's comments at 2:40! I'm a vert only type when it comes to vettes & with a 5k premium which could be spent on other options in the coupe, pretty much eliminates those on the fence.

Coupe

Oh yeah, coupe btw

A 650HP and 650 ft-lbs of torque super-car available as a convertible. No brainer, vert all the way. I figured there would be pent up demand from 'vertiholics with a penchant for HP but maybe there aren't that many out there. When I read how stiff the C7 Z06 was I knew a Z06 convertible was coming. I thought to keep the buzz and C7 press releases flowing it they would wait unit 2016. I was very surprised when they announced it would be available as a 2015 model. Yahoo!!!! A 650HP supercharged convertible, you gotta love it!!!

Vert. IMO the coupe looks stupid with the targa top out. Not a true open air feel either.

Stingray23

I would be thrilled with either one. If I had the means to do so, I would have one of each, but I'm going with the coupe.

I am getting the coupe for several reasons (even though I am typically a convertible Guy) and here's why:

1) I like the new roofline of the coupe
2) I equate it to a street legal race car...and I think race cars look better as coupes
3) I think the rear of the car looks odd as a convertible...the coupe roofline ties the rear with the rest of the car.

I think C1-C5 Look better as convertibles while C6-C7 look better as coupes (Although I really like the C6 427 Convertible).

Why not?

I've had 2 hard tops and a coupe in my C5's.


This time I'm leaning towards vert. Of course I'm probably going to want to hpde or make a few passes with it.

I'd pay for a factory fit/finish rollbar....and I imagine I'm not alone.

Being that all of my C5's have had 5 points I don't mind them. And honestly a drop top with a rollbar/cage inside looks friggin badass.



I remember following a Vert with a bar around watkins in the middle of july saying well, I'm sweating to death with the windows open in my Z anyway......might as well have the top down.

I'd run my coupe track car with a rollbar topless most of the time as well.
