Vert guys and non vert guys-which view do you think looks better top up or top down?
 
I know not all like the looks of convertibles but if you guys had to choose one do you think the C7 convertible looks better when the top is up or down and I know everyone would say that it is more fun to drive with the top down. I thought my C5 and C6 looked better with the top down but I am undecided on the C7 I like them both just as much I think look wise but of course it is more fun to drive with the top down . Which C7 vert LOOKS better top up or down? Coupe guys make sure you chime in and dont say neither. :D:lurk:

I think soft top convertibles always look better with the top down.

I have the coupe but I think top down looks much better than top up. Don

Honestly I like the look of the car with the roof up. I'd even go as far to say I like it better than the coupe, which will not go over well on here.

To me it looks more menancing with the flatter ass end. If you look at the rear deck of the vert you can see indentions where the coupe hatch area would hypothetically be. Never noticed that until last weekend while wiping it off.

Top down. The C7 Convertible does not have the quarter panel inlets so even with the top up looks better than the coupe (hate those inlets). The totally power top is really neat. This is my fourth convertible and I have driven top down more with this car than all the other convertibles combined.

I be very surprised if the answer is not top down by a landslide. They don't call it a rag top for nothing.

It is cool other than the strange sounds it makes. Sounds like it might break, but the convertible I rented in Vegas last fall made the same sounds. It's so easy pushing a button. Why the other day I gave my 9 year old nephew a little ride in it, and he was cold so I put the top up while driving. I didn't go over 15 though. I'm lacking the balls to go much faster while operating the top. Seems like the max of 30 mph might be a bad idea, especially if it's windy out.

MENACING is a good word for the top up look!:thumbs::rock:

bapd77 04-13-2015 03:13 PM

Top up.

millpond 04-13-2015 03:15 PM

Top down for the vert and top on for the coupe.

:iagree: Either way, however, the convertible does not look as exotic as the coupe to me.

GS1960 04-13-2015 03:17 PM

I like the top down.

jma242 04-13-2015 03:25 PM

Top Down. I'm a die hard vert guy but this is the first Corvette I prefer the coupe.

trivette 04-13-2015 04:13 PM

I think the C7 convert looks OK top up or down. Better, in my opinion, than the C5 which always reminded me of someone wearing a hat that was a couple of sizes too small-especially if the top was a contrasting color. The C6 seemed somewhat better and the C7 is fine.

:iagree:

The most exotic shape is:

1) coupe, top on
2) vert top down
3) vert top up
4) coupe, top off

Rave 04-13-2015 04:22 PM

Top down... but only when it's raining. :lol:

aj98 04-13-2015 04:22 PM

coupe owner...C5 and C7

much prefer the topless look (on any vette).

dinows33 04-13-2015 04:41 PM

I actually bought the Vert because I didnt like the looks of the coupe, didnt really care about putting it down

rcooper 04-13-2015 05:45 PM

Being its a vert I've got to go with down. As far as looks I've got to give the coupe the edge there.
Both are very nice looking cars.
