Convertible trunk dimensions?
I'll be picking up my new '15 at the museum next month and driving it back to CA. Can anyone tell me the trunk dimensions (not just the cubic ft capacity, but the actual length, depth, and width) on a convertible (Z06 if it matters) so that I can see if my luggage will fit?
In case the '15 convertibles are like the '08 convertibles (which I have now), with a removable partition between the main trunk area and the convertible top storage area, I mean *with* the partition up, so that I can put the top down on the drive back. After all, what's the fun of a 2,500 mile road trip in a convertible if you have to have the top up all the time?
Thanks in advance

Convert Dimentions
As a owner of a Z51 convert, with the partition up you can fit a 21" wheelie, and a backpack. With the partition down two 21 inch wheelies. If you are not taking a passenger, the second wheelie will fit on the passenger side. Enjoy the ride.

I've actually done this in a C7 vert and could still put the top down:
(2) small suitcases the size you put in overhead bins on airplanes and (2) small backpacks you can fit underneath the seats on airplanes.
In addition to that I think there might still be enough room to shoehorn my Fender Strat on top of the other luggage if I use a gig bag.

You also have that triangular space under the divider.

Oh great, not only am I waiting for my car (TPW 3/23), but now I can't wait to golf too. Never thought a bag of clubs would fit in the vert with the top down. It's on....

When I did my museum delivery on 2/5/15 I put the partition down and was able to carry two carryon wheel bags. Depth is the issue--the suitcase needs to be under 11" deep packed. Most suitcases that are sold as international carryons should fit (and the 21" rollers in the Corvette luggage set will fit with the partition down--remember to add length due to the wheels/take a tape measure to the store or if buying online you'll need real world measurements). Remember you're also going to have "stuff" in addition to your luggage (I had the splash guards installed, so I had the stock pieces in the trunk; I understand they no longer cover the cars for museum delivery--mine had the cover but I didn't keep it; the paperwork folder, laminated build sheet and window sticker and sign).
If you're adamant that the top come down during your drive home, then depth and length of the bags becomes the issue.

luggage space
Forget the wasted space of roller luggage. Use soft side bags. You can get cheap ones that work great at walmart. We purchased 19 inch and 21 inch bags and can get plenty of clothes in a c-6 or 7.
We have a rule if you cannot get the top down then you are packing too much cr-p
We learned this way back with the 89 vert which was not good.

When the convertible was first on display at the NY Auto Show, I made the rep show me the trunk as a major criteria was if it can hold a set of clubs and golf shoes. If you have a pull cart, there is no room with the clubs in the trunk. It will have to go on the front street.

I don't see how this is going to happen, and that's a damn shame.
A huge short coming of the C7.

Thanks for all the answers
Thanks for all the info, especially the one with the actual dimensions. I should be able to confirm that I can fit my large duffel bag (not carry on, but not rollers, either, so it's squishy). It would be a lot more convenient than plowing through airports with several bags.
