Althought I have always like Vette convertibles, I have always prefered the coupes. After seeing the C8 vert. I will strongly consider buying my first convertible.
BIGLEY .... this is now my dilemma..... keep my coupe order or go for Vert with no engine visible.

Although the HT looks great but for +$7500 added to my 2LT Coupe build, I’m staying with the Coupe. Just need a TPW.
EDIT: Oops, it’s +7000 added to the 2LT Coupe.
But if I did go HT Vert it would be all Arctic White

Reason: Oops! It’s $7000.00
I’m not a convertible guy, owned a Mustang GT vert when I was a kid & that was my one & only (save for our Jeeps).
I’m also really not a black roof/mirrors fan, in fact, have had several cars that came with black roof & mirrors painted body-color to match the rest of the car. This car with the black top looks significantly better than the coupe imo.
I'm not a convertible buying candidate, but the C8 Convertible is amazing. Pure win.
Just as BMW and other abandoned the hard top convertible designs, GM comes with a non compromise convertible.
Same drag with top up. Same downforce with top up. Same storage space. Likely same noise level and security with top up. Now legal on race tracks. Yet, in 16 seconds you can open up the air while on the move.
The only slight negative is that the engine is not visible with the top up. But no doubt this is the best convertible at any price on the market on the balace of performance and practicality.

There has yet to be confirmation on HPDE tech... I’m working with NASA-MA to iron out what is needed to be approved.
I'm not a convertible person. I like being sealed up inside with A/C. So I don't usually pay convertibles a second glance. However, this convertible is GORGEOUS! Another home run! The Corvette team should be very proud.
I like my C7 Coupe much more than the Convertible. After seeing the C8 I'm doing a complete 180. I absolutely love the C8 Convertible. Holy crap is it beautiful. YUM!
