Yeah, buy a C6! The big question is WHY?
Edit: wasn't trying to be a smartazz but I have a guy that works for me that drives an SLK. I can put my top down quicker than he can and I don't have the added weight and it'll never be in the shop for the top breaking. A power top doesn't belong on a real sports car. If I bought a C6 tomorrow I would never order a power top option. If you want that kind of luxury buy an XLR. Just my .02!

I'm sure if you throw enough money at the question, anything is possible...but like Eddie said...."WHY?"
I can raise and lower my top in about the same amount of time it takes to lower a powered top. Not to mention the weight and complexity, what's the point?

Well, today I saw a older Dodge convertible with the top going up and I thought if she can have that in her car why can't I have one in mine? Espeicially since I paid a little more for my car. That 's what made me think about it.
