Maybe I am missing something here, but I just plain do not understand an individual who would by a targa coupe, and then complain about the "turbulence" with the top removed. Last time I checked, if you wanted to own a C6, you had three choices of body style; targa coupe, convertible or fixed roof coupe (Z06 or ZR1). Seems to me if one finds the "turbulence" objectionable, one would not buy a targa coupe in the first place. It appears to me that there are a few here who would be better served with either of the Zs. But then, there would be less to complain aout.
I didn't want the turbulence, so I bought a fixed roof instead.

After doing this for ten years, I discovered that the turbulance isn't as tiring as the plain old noise. A pair of cheap earplugs cuts down wind noise, tire whine, noise from other cars, etc. Just use SPF 50, 'cause it's easy to forget how long you've been topless on a nice day.

The convertible and targa top regulations state:
1. Visors are to be parked in the up position when the top is off or on a convertible down, unless the sun is creating distress.
2. Side windows are to be down at all times with top off, or convertible top down.
Violators will be prosecuted.

Nothing seems as 'wonk' to me as seeing someone driving around in a 'vert with the top down but the windows up!
