Hopefully this was at a track and not on a public highway. 
Not sure if the vert has the same blow out clips on the top, but here's a file on a coupe. You might look to see if it is something that can be done on a vert.

I've had mine up to 165 and left the windows up, less drag and noise. Hahahaha. But no! Problems. But it's not a Vert. It's a Z06. If that makes any difference!

That is right around the speed where a friend's C6 convertible cloth roof separated off of the frame!!
And the car was only a year old, so the repair was cover under the factory warranty.
And yes it happened at a sanctioned high speed event.
