Why wouldn't you want the ability to pop the top when you want? You got us all confused...

They also turn when the car is moving. How could someone purchase a 50K+ plus car and not know the top comes off?

Your roof comes off, Get over it.
Driving your Brand New Corvette on a cool spring day with the top off, listening to your MP3 files is Heaven on earth.
What part dont you understand? Enjoy your new Corvette

Wow...You guys are really giving him a beating, all he did was ask a question. Maybe the pop-top was not important to him.
