Default Z06 ... Convertible?

I had another C5 pull up to park at the curb while I was stuck at a light today and I noticed it had a stock Z06 OEM badge on the side. Then I noticed it didn't have the brake vent ducts. Then I noticed it was a convertible. Things weren't adding up. I was under the impression there wasn't a Z06 convertible. What's the deal? Did they just slap a badge on it?

Just a badge. There are a few guys on the forum with z06 verts, but they're all converted, not from the factory.

Yes No Zo6 convertibles , but some Zo6 owners have converted their Zo6 into convertibles.

Unless the car was extensively modded, then it most likely was a vert with Z06 emblems added to it.
