Default cargo space

Does anyone have any numbers or real world experiences with the cargo space in a c6, both very and coupe? the numbers i'm finding say there is the same space in the c6 vert as in the c4 vert. now i know i can fit a lot more into my c4 vert than you would think, but i thought the c6 would definitely have more space. does anyone have any pics inside the trunck with the top up and top down? i'm leaning towards getting a c6 vert a daily driver/weekend tripper, but i don't want to get it and wish i had more space.

I must presume you're joking; the C4 didn't even have a trunk.

In the event you are not ( ), have owned C4, 5, and 6 convertibles. The C5 had a bit more useful space...top up or down...the C6 is limited in the top down mode. The C4 doesn't merit a word.

However, why don't you simply visit a dealership and check for yourself?

IIRC, a C6 Coupe is said to have twice the trunk capacity of a C6 vert.
You need to use soft duffels to take max advantage of the odd-shaped space, but we get a TON of stuff into our coupe.

Numbers off the 'net:
C4 Coupe/Vert- 13/7 cuft
C5 Coupe/Vert- 25/14 cuft
C6 Coupe/Vert- 22/11 cuft

EDITED:
C4 Coupe/Vert numbers were reversed in my original post, now corrected.

Lotsa room in the coupes, but how do you mentally measure "lots" ?

Go to a dealership, a Corvette club meeting or a car show - -take your tape measure or a suitcase.

See for yourself

Guido calls the coupe a 4 body.....

but prefers the two body trunk in the vert to completely conceal the evidence.

thanks. that's exactly some of the info and pics i was looking for. i guess i was searching for the wrong things. i've been to a dealership and i've examined them at car shows. but not many people at car shows are interested in letting me pack some bags in their trunk, nor am i interested in packing my bags to test it.

Well, the four C4s I owned - '89, '91, '94, '95 - I bought because they DID have a trunk.... more than 500,000 miles in C4s....

I WAS ROBBED! My '89 C4 vert had no trunk! My '05 vert (manual top) has more trunk room that my '11 vert (power top).
I'm gonna say the '05 can hold at least 10 toasters more that the '11. Well, 2 slice, not 4 slice toasters.

What the heck did I just say?
