c8zo6 convertible it's all the corvette one ever needs
c8zo6 convertible looks absolutely gorgeous and eventually, I am planning to keep that baby for a very long time very long time. and I believe it's all the corvette one ever needs
"the looks, the power, and the price" even at $150k it's a bargain
thanks, GM
Agree it is an absolute bargain but that's not the car. Although I am a little turned off after seeing the other pic, I am still hopeful the actual car will be a stunner.
Going to be a cool car, but after owning a C8 coupe and now a HTC I'm reverting to a coupe.
1. I don't trust the top to work long term and I don't trust my local Chevy dealer to fix it. The way the water pools on the back glass is destined to leak one of these days.
2. I really miss seeing the motor and this new LT6 should be a looker.
3. The top down experience is not that much better than the coupe top out, I thought it would be, but it's not.
4. I was told there's more room in the HTC. I had hoped I'd fit with a helmet. There's only more room if you drive very reclined and there is no position I can fit in the car with a helmet. Coupe is actually better for a performance driving position w/ a helmet.
5. I will say the convenience of putting the top up and down with a button is very nice vs. top in/out with the targa.

I agree. The Nacelles are too big. They wrap around on the side of the car, which reduces the open feel. They also don't leave a lot of space between them, and combined with the window not going all the way down also reduces the open feeling.
That said, I drop the top every time I can. I love not messing with the roof and having the trunk available with the roof down. Another HTC is in my future.
I had the glass top on my C6 and wish that was an option on the HTC. In the winter, it makes cabin feel bigger and brighter.

And the hunchback dome over the motor... even at 6'4" I can barely see out the back with the top down with the regular mirror. Really hard to see what's behind me and keep an eye out for cops.

I've gotten use to that, but I'm glad I have a back-up camera for parking lot maneuvers. On 2021s you can actually drive at speed with the back-up camera on. I don't but a guy in my club has tested it.
Fortunately the dome doesn't appear any taller in the Z06 photos. I was a bit concerned that the Z06 might use long intake runners that would require more height to fit.

There's a "work around" that keeps the back up camera on, but it goes away as soon as you touch the radio screen. Yes appears they kept the intake height low to use the same motor under the HTC. The top still has to be able to fold down in the same space.

Sometimes I like to floor it... I like being able to clearly see if there's an officer anywhere around before I do so.
