Another one bites the dust

Well actually another one just got sold. I traded in my '02 today on an order next week. Now I am trying to decide between a '03 Vert and an '03 Z06. It is a hard choice. Do I want the Speed and handling of the Z or the top down fun of the Vert? I know you guys are full of opinions so I thought I would see who can sway me to one side or the other.

If you race, get the Z.

If you don't, then get the Vert.

Most tracks will require a rollbar in Verts, and they get punished by the other models.

If not both:

If not both, a Z06 vert as one pictured here. If not that, then a Z06

Ok, I'm one of those guys that thinks that GM was right not to make the Z06 in a vert for many reasons. But I also think that a quality aftermarket conversion like that is really nice. SWEET RIDE! :cheers:

Question, are those roll hoops behind the seats? Like in a Ferrari 360?

Nice!

Absolutely - one of each. That's what we're doing. Best of both worlds.

Thanks! Yes, they're roll hoops, fitting between the stock seats and a factory decklid. I was a little worried because I'm 6'2" and couldn't afford any loss in seat travel, but I loved the look. As it turned out they didn't interfere with the seat travel or incline at all unless the seat is leaned way back.

Why did you trade the 02, just to get a year newer Z?

Yup, ditto on that!!! :D:D

Only one thing stopping me from getting one of each, and you know what that is, right? But, once I have the money, then the tough choice is what color. :D:D Well, I vote Electron Blue for the Z06 to hide the "cone marks," and either Torch Red or Millennium Yellow for the 'vert. :D:D
