I agree, but I would think that most people who are buying the corvette for racing are not buying converts anyway. Am I wrong about this?

So, if the majority are not racing, than the extra weight really wouldn't matter. Why couldn't it could work as an option?

I have to admit, this convert was the first I thought was really good looking. But that top I think destroys the look. Especially the tan top version with the grey.

Then, just get a different color!

If the retractable hard top would make it viable on most tracks, I would be all for it.
