Me, I think its a sports car if it is a convertible. So, yea, I think mine is special.

Until I found CF I had never heard it referred to as a "vert"... I always thought of them/heard them referred to as "Corvette Convertible" or "Roadster".

A vert is nice, but no more so than any other body style of C5. To each their own.

When you look at the 1st Vette what was it? If you ever drive a drop top you will never go with out one. I have a BMW vert 4 seater and my 04 Corvette vert.

Yes but my view of the Species called "Harley Owner" Is that they are not the most "fit" of species out there. One good crack to the coconut and we have ourselves an evolution.

How's that?

I agree with that. We have a C4 and a C5 but guess what.........both coupes. Unlucky us. I have had 2 convertibles in my life and frankly didn't really like the rag top. Hope that doesn't hurt anyones feelings but that's my opinion.
