Default 2008 convertible

Was looking for an 05 coupe but ended up with an 08 victory red convertible. We bought at Good Chevrolet in Renton and they were great. Had just come from another dealer down the road who would not even talk to us unless we were willing to buy one before we even heard the price and told us we could only test drive one of the older corvettes. But we ended up at great dealership and needless to say a great car. Now it time to join a club and meet all you other owners out there

Are all the 2008 convertible "power tops"? I don't see this as an option when building a 2008 convertible, so I am assuming they are all fully power and no manual. Is this true?

Only if you get the 3LT package. GM's wonderful idea to package stuff together.

After having the car a week I would not get a covertible without a power top, it is so fast to put up and down. For me convience is everything.

The Kent area ;-) Was it Bret's? They had a Corvette show Saturday.

For clubs there are two in Tacoma, one is social (drive somewhere and eat on the weekends) and the other is more "car guy". Both have their strong points, just depends on what you like.
