The Coupe is only 26lbs heavier than the Z06. The GS is 130lbs heavier.

Chevrolet posted top speed on the Coupe, Z06 and ZR1, in their '12 brochure...they should have also posted the top speed on the convertible and GS models. The idea of a sales brochure is to give the buying public knowledge about their products. Omitting info on some models because it might not be as grand as their less expensive models is just plain wrong!

In my younger years, I would have no qualms about taking it out and seeing what the top speed actually is on the GS convertible... top up,down or both!

And don't you hold the Forum record for totaling their Vette so soon after purchase?
Oh boy.
