If there is a convertible option it changes things

In my opinion if we can get 500hp and 475 lbs of torque in a convertible it changes alot in my mind in terms of how I feel about the car design i.e. MUCH BETTER!! I really like the way the rag top looks on the C6 -- gives it better lines. If the new Z had a convertible option I would stop my nonsense investigating other car options and completely focus on the new Z. Biggest disappointment IMHO is the look and presence of the new Z. IMHO its a yawn. The older Z models looked much better. What do you folks think?

It has the same basic power specs as the new viper and it is a convertible, so it does seem possible...

Yeah, I am almost sure that video was misreporting.

There are so many contradictions in the car that a convertible wouldn't surprise me at all. They'd probably call it a weight reduction measure.

That just isn't it.

My wife said we can have another Z if it is a convertible. Maybe it will change her mind about wanting a viper so she can race me.

A convertible does not have the aerodynamics that will not allow for safe speeds of 200 MPH.
