Created these animated GIFs to show the differences between the coupe and convertible:

$7500 to have space between the seats open.

If I had a coupe ordered, I'd be cancelling for a vert.

OMG finally something to get excited about the Convertible Silver car with Red interior looks like GM may finally be getting it right on the Interior panels ,dash ,seat Combinations. Can't wait to see in person maybe just maybe they have won me over:thumbs:

Cool! How about another one with the tops on? Can’t believe I just said that ;)

Only $7k if you opt for a 2LT or 3LT!

Thats one thing I noticed was the silver convertible had the Morello Red interior (!) and was looking forward to seeing that as much as the convertible itself.

The convertible does visually alter the problem I had with the bulbous rear appearance of the coupe.

rb185afm 10-03-2019 11:57 AM

I hope the convert can handle HDPE roll over cause I want my first convertible!

USA1 427 10-03-2019 12:10 PM

Wonder how many guys who went out and ordered a coupe already are wishing they would have waited.

What if you did what the Worlds Fastest Electric car folks did and grafted the C6 tail lights :confused:

Docbrock 10-03-2019 04:26 PM

I can't seem to find the convertible on the chevrolet site configurator, I'd like to see what the nacelles look like with the yellow paint.

ALL of em.......that could afford one. That's the problem around here, too many penny pinchers. I dont get it.......everyone can afford a new C8 for $70K, after tax, title and license - but then can't afford an $80K convertible? Doesn't make sense.

Docbrock 10-03-2019 05:48 PM

found the convertible in the design yours, not the build and price... looks great in yellow

bobs77vet 10-03-2019 05:50 PM

nice I wonder if the vert is quieter, after looking at your animation i could see it having less engine noise.

The C8 in general is quieter based on design alone. The vert should not make much if any difference. Unless you put the rear window down on the vert.

I am waiting for the Z06 and was really wanting the coupe for the rear window to show off the motor. But, after seeing this animation, I think the convertible looks better. Thanks for doing this!

it makes complete sense. What does not make sense are people easily spending strangers' money....projecting their opinions and financial situation on others. Hell, why not make it an even $100K if you're already 70% there?!

Is it possible to switch to Convertible this early on?

Will GM as a courtesy allow those already allocated a Coup to switch if they desire to the convertible?
