Depends on the track and the times your running.

In my opinion the coupe with targa removed gives me the best of both worlds. Coupe!

I love my coupe but a convertibles are very nice also. I'd say it would be a toss up. If I were in the market for a c5 or c6 I would probably get a vert seeing as I have never had a vert before.

Nic pic, Tex!

I don't know why it never occurred to me to shoot one of my ragtop in that location, but I'll do it next time I have her down there.

Live well,

Vert or Coupe...either way, as long as it's a Vette you'll have fun.
