Honestly, I don't really know but my guess would be no. I've always had coupes and I can see them having it, but if a vert flips over, I don't see how it could. But I think you have to be trying AWFULLY HARD to turn one of these things over!

I do not think you will have much unless you install a roll cage.

Remembering from previous discussions-
The C6 and C7 convertibles both have a windshield/frame unit that meets the federal standards for rollover protection in a sedan.
The coupe has the same WS/frame combination as the 'vert, plus the aluminum "halo" behind the seats.
The problem is that the federal standards are pretty wimpy, neither car is anyway near as strong as a decent roll bar installation.
I've never tried any kind of mathematical comparison, but in pictures I've seen of C6/C7 cars that have been rolled; the coupes are usually distorted but survivable, but the 'verts are usually flattened.

I recall that someone posted he had received permission to run on a certain track, because he got enough documentation to convince them that his Corvette 'vert did in fact meet the sedan rollover standards. I don't recall which track or what type of event he was doing.
