Default c-6 vert

since the latest spy shots show a convertible tooling around with 3 coupes, does anyone know for sure if the droptop will be available right from the start.

Yes, it will.
Actually, I've heard from a dealer that the models will be rolled out in the same order as the C5. First year, coupe only.....no vert.

This could be. The C5 strategy worked well for sales. First fill the pipelines with coupes, then make the vert available when sales level off.

At the Birthday Bash last week, Dave Hill said the convertible could be "slightly later" than the coupe and the Z06 replacement would be a year behind.

Did Mr. Hill say anything else that we would find interesting here - not just about verts?
