Interesting question. My initial instincts for a base C6 would be no. However, I cannot answer your question with 100% certainty.

Hopefully the experts will chime in.

The car is basically a Grand Sport convertible with a Z06's 505hp LS7!

I never realized how confusing the C6 2013 model year was. The OP asked about the Collectors Edition convertible, but not about the 427. I assumed that's what he was asking about. When I was looking for a C6, I road tested the 427. Now I understand his question was about the base car. They're pretty rare with only 720 convertibles made! I saw a picture of one on this forum awhile ago, and pretty sure it was the narrow base body.

The Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition features wide-body styling, with carbon fiber Z06-style fenders and a carbon fiber raised hood, as well as a ZR1-style full-width rear spoiler. There was no "skinny" C6 with the LS7 (427).
