I've been in both. (IMO) the vert is only somewhat *Better* at low speeds in town. With the top down, the coupe is better at 50+MPH as far as wind goes.

The two feel basically the same, but the coupe felt like a better drivers car, especially with the top down. The Vert was really only better, if you felt like the air *BEHIND* you had to be open. Of which, I couldn't care about...

EDIT: Obviously, the vert had a button to take the top down, though, this is really such a small detail, I can hardly even include it.... The top removal takes seconds on the coupe.

Awesome car either way
Thanks, I'll have to read up more on it. Picked it up and was gone to Vegas for a week so still haven't gone through everything yet.

No extras yet ... The only thing we need to change is the cheap plastic front splitter.

Congrats. You went from beautiful to beautiful. I like silver, but can't help but appreciate a jaw dropping little red Corvette.
