Targa Top Question
Are all the coupe's equipped with Targa tops or are some fixed? When I look at vettes on the internet, they generally don't specify. I know the Z06 is fixed top. Sorry for the silly question.

All C6's (except converts) come with a removable top from Bowling Green. I have never heard of anybody doing a "fixed top conversion" to a C6.

All coupes are targa tops. In 1999, they made a low price Vette called the Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC) that later evolved into the Z06 in 2001.

No fix was needed. As I stated; All C6 Coupes. The OP stated Coupe and covered the C6 Z06.

No one has stated it clearly yet...the C5 FRC (fixed-roof coupe) and the C5 Z06 are the only fixed roof Corvettes since the C2.
There.
