Re: new zo6 roof (bald1eagle)
It is the called the "double bubble" roof. It is really a Zagato invention.
Helps aid aerodynamics while retaining headroom.
Cheby lifted it from the 3rd gen RX7, along with the mirrors. :D

It is bubbled for aerodynamic reasons, ala "the rx7" It goes along with the dip in the hood, and if you look close enough you will see a slight indent in the middle of the back window, I would hate to have to pay to replace that thing :eek:
