Beautiful color combo, that is where the tan top shines and looks perfect with the top up.

I agree. Rollbar says this car is more than just a pretty face.

why buy a vert if you aren't planning to drop the top? That is like buying a chick with beautiful ***** a granny bra to keep them covered

I love the way the SS vert looks, and i get a lot more compliments with my vert ws6 than i do with my ttop.
I think a ws6 ttop is one of the best looking cars out there but an ss vert looks better than a ss coupe imo.

Default I Love the look Top UP...

I never really thought about it, but the NBM with Neutral top is pretty rare. I also have the matching boot for when I go put the top down.
