Default Verts only Poll

Owners of Verts (no coupe de jours please): Based on looks only, do you think your car looks better with top down or up. Please dont count the I look cool factor or I like the open air, blah blah..Simply without you in car.

Without a doubt Top Down!

I don't plan on having the top up too often.

I'm looking forward to having my top down hopefully by next weekend.

Looks another 'Well d'uh!' poll!
And why can't coupe owners render an opinion?
Are you are Vert bigot or something?
We coupe owners have thoughts and feeling too!

Nothing draws the open-mouthed stare, thumbs up signing and looks of envy like my one week old LMB with the TOP DOWN.

No comparison. These vette-envy folks I pass are right--it's Top DOWN---Hands Down!

I think it looks better from the sides with the top up, every other angle top down.

you have to have the top down so that everyone can see the hot chick with long hair blowing, in the passenger seat.

Again your poll doesn't enough choices for me to participate. I like the looks equally.

Top down gives the corvette a lower center of gravity visual profile. This is what attracts me to the vette the most - design-wise. I also like just about everything else about the corvette
