Default C6 Convertible

Is it just me, or do you think the C6 Convertible is the best looking and probably the most dependable of all corvettes?

I agree, not much better than a C6 vert.

I'm partial to my C3 vert as well!

It's in the eye of the beholder. I will agree that the vert looks great with the top down.

I can't really argue that point. My C6 vert has been beat to hell over the past year and a half, but still looks like the show car it is even after everything it's been through.

The Corvette Convertible w/ Manual Transmission is an American Sports Car icon.
Very few American two seat convertibles have ever been produced and the Corvette certainly tops the list.

Yes, absolutely agree 100%. All my performance cars over the years have been rag tops, but the C6 the most beautiful, and second only to my C2 roadster!

I prefer the lines with the top up, much more so than the hatch. That’s why I liked my C5 FRC so much. Oh well, I have a hatch now

Agree.
My first convertible ever and it's my '06 3LT triple black. Great on a cool summer evening.
