Yes, just don't drive it in the RAIN.

Couldn't resist.

Nope, that's a compromise you pay for the sleek body of the Vette.

Use the speedometer. Set it between 120-180 for a few minutes, depending on amount of water on car.

Convertibles/ and some targa topped cars, unlike most hard top cars, don't have a water drainage "lip" around the edge of the window...

Easiest way to minimize the water dropping into the interior, on the seats etc. is to just wipe (towel or paper towels work well) the top area of the windows before you open the doors. With the door ajar just a little, wipe the curved area or the rood and just under the roof line. I go through this routine after I wash the car. You might not get it all but it will help. It's an extra step but it's one way to avoid a mess.
