2006 Zo6

Will the new 2006 ZO6 come in a convertible model or at least a removable targa top like the 2003 ZO6?

the fixed roof optimized body rigidity and aerodynamics. less body flex in a fixed roof than in a targa top. so probably wont see a removable roof on a z06 for a while

yes on the body rigidity, not exactly correct on the aerodynamics though. The coupe/fastback design is more aerodynamic

Good way to blow off newer members! People come to this board for help concerning vettes, not to be criticized. To be honest I have seen worse questions from people on this board and some have come from myself. This forum is for helping newbies to our world as well as the most experienced vette lovers. Thats what makes this forum great.

I don't think that you'll ever see a targa top or convertible top on a Z06.

Try asking this in the C6 Z06 area. I'm not being rude but think you will get a better answer in the proper area.

Geez, lighten up. He might just be a younger member who isn't up on all the specifics of the vette. You could be helpful and inform him nicely, or be an *** and flame him. You choose.
