I believe MickMike1 was alluding to the fact that the same excuse for not having a ragtop was used for the C5 Z06. The C6 has similar power and handling to the C5 Z06 yet the top comes down ... neither has an aluminum frame.

As opposed to the 40-50+ grand lingenfelter charges for some of their work? I think Hennessey charges the same for their Viper kits. Some items are expensive. Some people can afford it.

The engineers didn't give us flying tops, the supplier did.

IMO all

My personal preference would be for a Z06 with a fixed roof and flat back window etc.

Available to anyone with a C6,

except for the ZO6 badges......poser







.................however I am very impressed if someone takes a real ZO6 and converts to coupe or vert so long as they don't remove the ZO6 badging to make it appear as something it is not .................others don't agree with my logical reasoning and that is ok.
