I am not into exterior vents at all. The hood vent is ok, could live without it though.

There's one thing I like, it's a small thing but it's great in my book. That's when you get the opportunity to take a morning ride in the spring. The smell of freshly cut grass, the fragrance of flowers blooming, and the birds singing can all be had with the top down. Great blood pressure medicine.

Fellow vert owners, if you haven't checked out Mods4Cars SmartTOP controller for the C7, you should. It's added a huge amount of enjoyment and utility to the car for me.
From the key fob you can raise the top and windows adding to the factory functionality of only lowering them. It also makes raising or lowering the top work from quite a distance and it's one-touch so you don't have to hold the buttons down for the entire cycle.
It also makes the dash button for top up/down operation one-touch so you don't have to hold the button down to raise/lower.
It may seem pricey, but by far the best money I've spent on the car.

^^^ +1000! This is by far my favorite mod. Single touch up and down from fob or inside the car. No more intermittent stops if my finger slipped off the fob button. Personally, I would have paid twice the amount and been happy!

Top down the vert is stunning, top up the coupe is 100x better looking. Just my opinion or course. I did the coupe again with the Z, no regrets. I like the looks, the security of not having a rag top and pulling off the top is easy, doing daily in the winter. In the summer you can't go topless in FL.
So, with the top up on a vert it’d be interesting to see how luggage space compares to the coupe with roof on. We do get a surprising amount of luggage in the coupe - but I am seriously considering a subwoofer back there-that could throw the debate out the window.
Once at destination, either top would come off/down.
Tough choice- but both are winners.

Today I learned (from my NCM delivery ambassador,) the C7 was designed first as a convertible and then the coupe was designed afterward based on that. He (Larry McCool @ NCM) noted it is easier from a design standpoint to go from a Vert to a hardtop vs. the other way around. IMO, they did a heck-of-a-job on both.
