My first Vette was coupe, and I always had the roof off.

The next two were verts. I can't see myself going back.

DRIVE TOPLESS

Hey, has anyone put roll bars in their C6?

I heard some of the driving schools and dragstrips only allow verts with rops (roll over protection system).

I have had 6 Corvettes, all convertibles! The C5 did not look good in a coupe but the C6 does. I love having a roadster. I like my hot babe in a tight top, getting a tan with her blonde hair blowing in the wind. PRICELESS

Default Vert Fever

The C6 Is My 12th Vette I Think And They've All Been Verts And The C6 Is By Far The Best In Terms Ofease Of Putting The Top Up And Down And Noise While Driving With The Top Down. If It's A Vette It Has To Be A Vert:d

This is my first Vette but my 2nd convertible. Kept the first convertible for 14 years. Even in Chicago, it is the only way to go, especially if the Vette is your "nice day" car.

Up north you only get 5-6 mos of warm weather

since the c6 is a seasonal driver- vert is the answer

makes the rare good weather- even more enjoyable

fewer regret buying a vert than those that did not

Default After 5 coupes

I had 5 C-3 coupes. I found the T-Tops a PITA.
After 2 Mustang GT verts, I had to get a C-6 vert.
Verts are much more sporty for cruising around. If you want to race,
buy a coupe.
