It's still a hard top, and it is still not a convertible. It's 80% a convertible. Don't get me wrong, I wish my Z06 had a removable roof., but...

Funny thing in this (or any other Vert thread) is I've never seen a former Vert owner saying how he (or she) bought a Coupe and saying how it's "JUST THE SAME!"

And with a real good imagination you could buy a car with a moon roof and call it a convertible. Particularly if your hair is carefully coifed.

This thread needs to die or be shut down by Mr. Bell.

The question asked by the OP has been answered. There are fewer verts than coupes because fewer people want one. The rest of the thread has been vert lovers insulting coupe owners and coupe lovers doing likewise to vert owners. What's the point? No one is going to read a post here and go "OMG, you are right. Verts are awesome! I'm selling my coupe tomorrow at a huge loss to make the switch." It certainly isn't going to happen given the insulting tone of half the posts in this thread.

You're kinda new here so I understand your thoughts.

However, much of the fun here consists of simple BS'n around with these kinds of topics. Verts/Coupes, A8/M7, Black wheels/Chrome wheels, Wide body/Narrow body, Stripes/No Stripes, Remove fender badges/Keep fender badges, Chrome emblems/Carbon Flash emblems, etc. etc. etc. Nobody is going to sell what they have and get anything else; it's just the nature of CF C7 section to trumpet loudly what we have and why we think it's the best.

Take it in good fun. Just don't get any black wheels; chrome is the best.

I haven't seen any insults or PAs so I hope TPTB don't shut it down.


It's a fun opinion thread which pays for this site via threads viewed. There is no right or wrong opinion , and I'm pretty sure we all understand this.

Says: "shut down thread," then proceeds to write an op-ed piece.

What am I missing?
You’re going to get replies here where responders think they made the superior choice because they're special. Doesn’t matter what they think or what they theorize. If you want a Vert get it. Pick the car the “you” want, there’s no right answer.

Exactly - it can't be all be discussion of actual real questions. Sometimes we just want to debate BS like this. Some people act like they're being forced to visit these threads...
