They make a Corvette that has a fixed top? What's the point in that?
I've owned a C5 and now a C6. Both verts. Wouldn't own any other Corvette.
Of course, I live in Florida, so I rarely even put the top up.

I think one of the things that discourages some people from getting a vert is based on the verts of yesteryear which were noisy with the top up and often had cloudy rear plastic windows. The C6 is very quiet, provides decent visibility, has a glass window, and with the power top is very efficient for top up or top down driving. I have experienced no real disadvantages to my vert C6 experience. So, yes, I would buy another vert when the time comes - provided I don't win the lottery and buy a blue devil.

I tried the fixed roof... My (C5) Z06 was was fun. But, it wasn't as much fun as my 'verts have been. Happy to be back!

Had a 95 trans am vert. Then a 2001 c5 coupe. I missed the vert so I bought a 06 c6 vert with power top. It is also quieter than my c5 coupe was because the vert trunk is separate and buffers the rear tire road noise.

All early Corvettes C1's were made to be a vert sports car ,I had many and still do .the Corvette was meant to be a Vert not a close vett, so my new C6 had to be a vert and I love it
