Coupe - also referred to as a targa has a removable targa top and a hatchback.

)
Hardtop - referred to as a fixed roof coupe (FRC) does not have a removable top (unless modified) and has a trunk instead of a hatchback. The Z06 is a hardtop (FRC).

One thing I'd like to add for those who may come across this thread in a search. I've had 2 frc's and now 1 coupe. I never understood what people meant by having 'squeaks, pops and rattles' UNTIL I got the coupe 
The FRC/Z06 has a DEFINITE advantage in that department. No squeaks, pops or rattles from the FRC's
