If you are a 100% corvette C6 vert guy would you rather own a C6 vette coupe or go with another vert car . I am a 100% C6 vert vette guy but if I had to own a C6 vette coupe instead of a C6 vette vert I would own 3 cars first other than a C6 coupe or even a C7 coupe for that matter .#1 2015 mustang GT vert #2 2014 camaro ss vert #3 C5 vette vert. What three cars would you guys own THAT YOU CAN AFFORD if you would not want a C6 vette coupe or would you just get the C6 vette coupe instead of your C6 vette convertible?Thanks DAVE

If you're a true Vette guy then just because you can't get or own a Vert doesn't matter.For Vette guys and girls it's Vette or nothing wether that be Vert or Coupe.We don't settle.

Well said. Kinda strange question.

I like my Vette coupe but I don't mind driving the wife's '12 Shelby GT500 vert. If I could only have one of them I'd have the Vette coupe.

My first Corvette was a 66 Roadster. That was my last also.

You can own all the Mustangs or Camaro's that you want but if you really want someone to notice, drive up in a Vette. It's just that simple and I am not bashing the others. The Vette is simply just a cut above. Doesn't matter if it a vert or coupe. Trust me on this!!

What kind of answer did you think you would get? This is a Vette forum after all.

Convertible here. I prefer the roofline top up or down over the hatchback.

One of the first automotive loves of my life was a '92 Red Miata I bought new and owned for 7 years..........then, getting ready to buy my last sports car (and 4th Vette, 3 were coupes) I came upon a GS 3LT (same red) 6MT.....the rest, as they say, is history.......

You wouldn't be seeing me giving up a vette period. And while I'm not a fan of verts, I'm a fan of vettes. So if I were a fan of verts, and if I couldn't have a vert, I'd have a coupe.

saplumr

Soooooo.....are you going to keep us in suspense with your history or tell us coupe or vert?????

Steve_R

I drive my Vette because I like it. Period. I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks of it since I don't drive it to impress anybody or have anybody notice it.

If I couldn't have a Vert (C6) then I would have a Z06 and an SL 63 AMG. I could never do without the top down experience completely.

Baxter's Dad

If there was some reason that I could no longer own a C6 Vert, and I had to replace it with a like budget, I would get the best C6 coupe I could find. I have no real desire to drive anything but a C6 Corvette,

ODEN2

A restored mkI or mkII Austin Healey 3000 roadster, along with a lot of tools, several rolls of 14ga wire, a carton of electrical tape, a raincoat and a blanket. (old healey owners, did I miss anything?)
Been there, done that, still got the scars!

charles

1960 AH 3000, 1961 AH 3000, 2004 C5 vert, 2013 C6 427 vert

I'd have to look at/try out the coupe again, but if it didn't work for me: 1) a C7 convertible; 2) a Jag F conv.; and 3) something else---maybe a resto-mod that handles well (built to handle well), or a '15 Mustang something, older Lex SC folding top, etc.

I like them both. I currently own a vert, but have owned the coupe. The coupe is really a great GT car with all the storage room. My vert is hurting for trips over two weeks with two people.

JAG, maybe a 6 series vert, or something else sporty and with some motor. not really sure, which is why I went with what I got.

CurtH

If I could not have my C6 vert, I would go for C5 Z06 or FRC (love that roof line)

texvette2

If I decide to dump the C6 vert, it will be for a C7 vert Z51, 3lt,
Torch red, red, with black stripes and wheels

If didn't want to spend 73K Might get a completely restored C3 vert.
Seem some for about half of a C7. Have a retro T Bird so have 2 verts
already. The Vette and TBird are toys, DD is a BMW X

Always Red Dave

I agree 100% I could never do without the top down experience completely either.

Always Red Dave

Listen I have owned nothing but corvettes since my first a 1993 C4 coupe but after that vette I have owned nothing but covertible verts and once I went vert I could never leave that TOTAL TOP DOWN EXPERIENCE! Lets hope they never stop building a Corvette convertible so I will never have to face the fact of finding a different covertible to drive. Notice in my first post I stated that one of the cars I would rather own than a C6 coupe is a C5 VERT so you are definately talking to a CORVETTE FANATIC but maybe I am just a CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE FANATIC!
