Default Quick question about c7 vettes

Do all C7 have a removable targa roof?
Or only certain models like the C5?

All C7 coupes have the removable roof panel. Standard is painted to match the car, optional exposed carbon fiber, or transparent. Some were ordered with more than one roof.

Nice feature that began with the C7.

All. Then it came down to if you wanted multiple tops or not.

I thought it was great until I got above 40 mph or so and started to get the "wind fists" to my head. That's why mine is a convertible. A company used to offer these little rubber "widgets" that allowed your rear roof to sit slightly open to allow air to exit rather then circling back to dope slap you over and over......

The chassis of the C7 is more rigid than the C5 or C6. This eliminates the need for the roof to be structural in some models.

All C5 "coupes" do, too. Only the two "hardtop" models do not.
