Default Coupe/Vert Dimensions/Spec Differences

Vert has 5 cubic feet less cargo capacity than coupe and weighs 64 pounds more than coupe. It is also 0.7 inches taller than the coupe.

Compare to a 1965 Convertible(the "original" Sting Ray) that had 39" of head room and 8 cu ft of usable trunk space(and not even a trunk with a lid). And was 4.3" narrower and 1.8" shorter in length then the current StingRay.

But they both held 18.5 gallons of gas.

The 10 cu ft of cargo on the convert is probably with the top down. With the top up, it looks like you can use the space where the top would normally collapse.

So, if you are on a long trip on freeways, you would probably keep the top up for the duration of the trip, and therefore use the extra space for luggage where the top would normally be stowed. Any one know how many cu ft that would be?

With the top down the interior space goes to infinity.
