C5 Z06's NEVER came in convertibles. The one's that you're seeing are fakes.

Thayss what I thought. Why didn't they make them in convertible? Just because itss a performance car and it would be stupid? Lol

What is FRC body style? What years did they make convertibles? The new ones are still non convertible?

FRC=Fixed Roof Coupe

Z06's have never been offered in convertible's, not even C6's.

Like them fake hood scoops. Someone put a Z06 badge on their fender, shit like that happens all the time. Ricer move.

Unless you count the 2013 427 verts as zo6's

Is there a website, or GM link that proves this? I want to show a hard headed friend.

Show him this thread. People will throw the rear brake vent ducts on their regular C5's and then put a Z06 badge on it. I see it all the time on Corvette Forum. All Z06's are hard tops. The new Grand Sports (which look like Z06's) can come in convertibles, but they're not Z06's and don't have the same drivetrain as one either.

And the C5 Z was only made from 2001-2004. '01 model was rated for 385hp and the '02-'04's were rated at 405hp.

im guessing they were built as hard tops only for optimal handling and performance.

I remember someone in ohio here taking a ZO6 and making a convertible out of it, but not an option till 2013 when they have a 427 conv with ZO6 options, I think!
