I e-mailed the artist rendering of the C7 conv to my wife at work to get her thoughts. Here's her reply:

"Looks good with the top down, but wonder how it would look with the top up. I like the extra side windows in the coupe. Besides, I think we should hold out for a ZR1 next time. Yahoo!!! ;-)"

Gotta love her.

She's smart, she's counting on no ZR1 being made in the C7 , but snow balled you into not buying a new vette as you now think you have permission to buy a Zr1 C7

Pictures of a camoflaged convertible, with its top up were circulated some time ago.

The top looked an awful lot like the C5/C6 top.

We'll have to wait and see.

If you saw the sig pic you would have seen the 2013 427 convertible we just bought in September. We will most likely sell the 06 to get a C7 ZR1 if one does indeed get built. She's the reason I got into Vettes in the first place. I was old school musclecar until it got too expensive to maintain them.
