Folding hardtop on a C5
Over on the 3SI 3000GT forum someone posted this eBay sale for a C5 Z06 with a folding hardtop:

The conversion is cool, but does anybody know if these tops can be found anywhere? I'm interested in replacing the top on my vert with one of these if you can buy them somewhere.

I've owned 5 of them and 2 turbo cars (VR4 and Stealth). Fun and fast cars but they weigh a ton. Not really designed as drag strip cars, but if you strip enough parts off them you could get there. It's probably just a matter of time now. I must say I prefer the Vette these days.

Nice, but a bit too expensive for me to realistically consider. Judging by the way it folds it looks like you'd have to change the trunk opening regardless of whether it was power or not. Still, I'd think a manual fold version might still be had for less than $5000 if they decided to make one. Oh well, it's still pretty cool to look at.
