Even a convertible wouldn't make that tolerable.

When I bought my car I wanted a coupe. There is nothing like the lines of a coupe,as someone else said. That being said I do have a convertible, non vette, to drive. Everyone should own at least one convertible before going on to own any coupe.

Nothing beats a Coupe for driving toasty on those cold fall and winter days, nothing beats a Vert for driving on those warm Spring and Summer days. That's why you need one of each! Problem solved.

Warm yes, but there's nothing worse than sitting in traffic on a HOT day with the top down. I have 2 verts. and 1 coupe and very few HOT days.Jim

I have a SWC with AC and all the goodies you can do to a modified car except the body is still stock. It has always been my favorite corvette. I got a motorcycle with a 425 HP SB in it for when its warm or a nice summer night, life is good.

COUPES ARE FOR CHICKENS!!! 
: : Seriously, I would love to have a coupe to keep my convertible company. I know the coupes do not have cowl shake like the convertibles. All those timeless sweeping lines...the coupes just got more of 'em. The one thing I enjoy doing when fall comes is install the hardtop. Just give the convertible a more formal look.

Anybody with a vert wish they had a coupe or vice versa?

No, but people with convertibles would wish other people would stop saying "vert."
Well we could call them "converts" or "ble" thats nice and short. I have always like roadster. "Drop head" is cool. Drop top maybe? In the end, who cares!
Verts still the easiest to type.

I've had a 60rag, a 61rag, another 61rag, a 62rag, a 66rag, WTF is so difficult in typing r-a-g, one letter less than the french word for green, vert!
DT for drop top, or T for topless, anything else. Only girls and gays say vert!
Thanks, Raymeaux for the 2011 version.....
