Default Vert visibility

Has anyone sat inside the convertible and seen what kind of visibility it has and compare it to the coupe?

I'm just speculating, the forward, left and right visibility should be the same for coupe/vert. Vert visibility to the rear, with the top down, should be far superior to the coupe - I have no clue on top up Vert rear visibility compared to coupe.

OP do you mean with the top up? The only vert I ever sat in (with top off) that the visibilty was terrible is the Murcielago. Even though the new C7 has higher rear quarters it shouldn't be at all bad.

Silliest I've driven is the Countach 500 s. The rear view mirror is a joke. All you can see behind you is the hood that covers the airbox.

First rule of Italian driving: What's behind you is not important.

Never even sat in one, isn't that the car the hot chicks drove in Cannonball Run?
One of the guys posted a video of that line from some movie, I can't remember which.
