Hi all,
I am not a Corvette owner. But, I am strongly considering buying a used C5 or C6. I am a Porsche guy; I have a Boxster and an older 911 turbo.
I wanted to ask a question, which is sort of silly, but will two sets of golf clubs fit in the trunk of a C5 or C6 convertible, or an FRC? I can't carry golf clubs in either Porsche, and I'm thinking the Corvette is a bit more spacious. Also, I was at the track maybe 10 years ago or so, and the Corvettes that were there were track monsters. I think they were Z06's.

So, what I want is a car that handles well, and can fit golf clubs. I'm getting older, and strapping the clubs onto the trunk rack on the Boxster is becoming a chore.
TIA,
Pat

Welcome to the forum!

I can answer that they will fit in the trunk of a C6 convertible, if you have the top up. Allows additional storage space.

C5 should be similar, can't answer related to FRC as I had a C5 coupe and there was plenty of space in the rear hatch area.

Welcome to the forum. For C5 specific questions, I'd recommend posting your question in the C5 General section.

Welcome to the forum, Pat!
As rkj427 mentioned, I have a C5 coupe and no problem fitting two golf bags.
Hope to see you join the Corvette family!

Thanks everyone!
Do the golf bags fit with the top down? I live in NJ and have a house in Sarasota. So, I want to be able to play and tool around in Florida with the top down. Next thing is to find a Corvette for Florida. I need to delete some Porsches first.

No. (2) sets will not fit in a C5/6 convertible's trunk. Just one. The hatchbacks might fit them both.
