Default New Stingray Convertible





Sold my '18 Z06 Coupe back in January. Mortgage type payments and Winter made the decision to sell it. However, being into Vettes since forever...I ordered the Stingray Convertible with a 7 speed manual , dual mode exhaust and installed the Z51 sway bars on it.Love the car and I can still have fun with 190 less HP and a reasonable car payment!

Congratulations, I hope you enjoy the convertible. We love our 2016 ragtop. We had originally bought a 2015 coupe, but we severely missed the drop top, so I bit the bullet and swapped it for the convertible.
