Verts, Verts, Verts

Sounds like a biased bunch of answers to me. Get the coup and take the top of. Withe the coup you wont have to worry about water leaks, rotting canvas, knife cuts, wind noise.

. There is a world of difference between a C4 convertible and a C5 convertible. Maybe we can all agree to disagree - the coupe owners are happy with their cars and the convertible owners are ecstatic with theirs!

The other point to agree on is that the C5 convertible is lightyears better than the C4 convertible.

I'm not sure why Dave68 thinks that the coupe is "lightyears better" than the convertible. I've owned a C5 Coupe and 2 C5 Convertibles and can honestly say that IMO there's very little difference between the two with the top up. Now, with the top down, that's a whole different story!

I didn't read all the posts, but being a Vert owner, I just have one thing to say...

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE OWNING AND DRIVING A CONVERTIBLE CORVETTE!!!!!

That is all, sir.
