Default C6/Z06 Hardtop

I modified an existing picture of a C6 coupe, and redesigned it into the hardtop style that the previous Z06 models were equipped with.

Comments?

im actually liking the top one better, it just seams to flow better. probably because the 2nd one is rounded. if it was a sharper peice of glas then it might fit.

I think that the hardtop flows more with the front of the car. I liked the ZO6 hardtop look on the C5, and now the C6 as well. But they are both beautiful IMO.

GM isn't going to manufacture Z06 models in the hardtop version, if they would, I think it would be awesome.

That definitely looks A LOT better in my opinion. The hardtop is the only reason that I will eventually (after college and med-school) will buy a C5 instead of a C6. Twin-turbo 427

just so you know the z06 IS a hard top. its a hardtop coupe as opposed to the FRC (old style Z06). There is no argueing that the aerodynamics are better as a coupe and honestly to me, fashion follows form. I'm glad they decided to do the better performance wise thing instead of the better asthetic thing. With the amount of power this car should have we will probably need all the aerodynamics we can get too Hello 200mph

I did this to a regular c6 as soon as they came out. Looks ok, but it won't happen.
