Hello McGirk94LT1
You didn't comment about the postings by Traction Control OFF and Stingray 23? It seems that I am not the only one hoping for a retractable hardtop. That is the future and the C6.4 does not appear to offer the future. Those posting here regarding a retractable hardtop should check out the stickey about C7 removable hardtop.

The spy photos look just like a C6.4 at best. I see nothing earth shaking.

How do you get those huge honk'n blue horns under that top. How do you keep them from poking through the roof?

Going to stick with the coupe. I like the quarter window look. I've never personally owned a convertible. But I've driven lots of them. I like them to an extent, but at the end of the day, I'm always happy for buying the FRC body type.

They fold down just like the convertible top!

CoC6.4 You are wrong again as that thread is about confirming there will be a removable targa topped Coupe.

In post #2, I put a C7 vert pic and a C6 vert pic together for comparison purposes.

And some guy on here tried to tell me that the Corvette team wasn't aiming for the 991.

McGirk---I hope you took the time to view that very nice video CrabbyJ gave us in his post number 40. That is a very nice looking Lotus Elite. Retractable hardtop, midengine, Hybrid optional.

Did anyone notice that the sport seats don't appear to be obvious in these pics and so maybe this car is not equipped with them. HMMMM.
Also is it just me or does there appear to be a hump behind the seats??

Are my eyes decieving me or do I see the dreaded chin spoiler?

That's not a chin spoiler, that's the air dam. The chin spoiler is found on the C6 GS/Z06/ZR1.
Look at the chin of my Z06.

I stand corrected.
I had hoped they would do away with the airdam by now.

This pictures demonstrates as well as any how much the rear quarter panel flares out to widen the rear end of the C7:
