Is there ANY chance that the Z06 will be introduced in the convertable platform? Anyone have any news?

okok-- what about 2003?
I'm ready to drop the change on a vette-- but I REALLY want the z06 package in a convert'.

Guess I'll just wait and see what Chevy does with the c6. Whatta shame.

Z-06 in convertible, no way, it does not make any sense since the vert is the least rigid and most flexible of all the body styles.

Give me a break. You mean DODGE can produce a 400+ horsepower car in a vert (ok--- not quite), but CHEVY can't???

Just doesn't make any sense. Oh well. gues I'll save up my greenbacks for a c6.
