Said any one 6' plus he didnt think it would work, Plus any one with long legs he didnt see it working, Plus anyone really tall from the waist up it would be not so good from the seat back having to be more up right.. So I didnt buy it from what he was telling me.

But if you just wanted it to put into the car for race track day time & then pull it out. You could live with it I am thinking for no more time & it being in the car. I really do like the looks of it & also not having to cut up & drill holes in the car for sure... Robert

OK kiddos, I'm pulling the Vert out next week, and preparing it for a nice long road trip. One of the reasons I love the drop top. We'll be leaving Sept. 9th heading to Joliet, IL (I'm a country boy, and don't do big cities very well, hence Joliet instead of Chicago) then picking up Route 66 to head west to Tucumcari, NM. We're only taking a shorter 66 run this time. The weather out west is most beautiful this time of year with the threat of tornado's being less and the humidity is low. As normal the top will only be up while on the interstate, and at night. Life is good my friends.

From our last trip in the vert. Hwy 156 (Old Route 66) south of Cuervo, NM heading to Santa Rosa, NM. Beautiful open country with zero traffic.

Start your post, then click on the little square icon at the top of the text window that looks like a couple of mountains. It's right next to the smiley face!

That will bring up a new window that will let you upload pics from your computer or link to a site that hosts photos...

Flying to get a new car and driving it back is a great experience. I picked up my C6Z in Austin. Drove it to San Diego over the next few days. A great memory. Enjoy your new Vert!

It's a beauty Allen, congratulations. Now, drop that top, and let's see that interior. I'm guessing with a gray top, it's got gray interior. Very nice combo. Or, is my compooter playing color tricks on me?

Not recent pics but yes, 2-tone gray! Saw a LOT of different interior combos, and came from a white C6 with 2-tone red/black which I thought I'd go with again- The gray was the clear winner for me after seeing it in person!

I too are(English ALERT!!..are or am) a big Fan of the 2 Tone Gray.I added a lil Black to break up the Lightness of this shade of Gray
The Z has a different Shade of Gray than the other C7's
