There is a reason they did not make the C6 Z06 a hardtop like that. They found out that the hatch glass produced better numbers in the wind tunnel. That is why it is not like the C5 Z06.

No they shouldn't, the car was designed with the racetrack in mind, designers had specific goas relating to the C6R with this car.

the C5 FRC has a higher drag coeffiecient than the coupe C5 also, but the design is lighter and stiffer.

No thanks, I'll take the regular Coupe/targa please. What the current C6 looks like, is exactly how it should look. Perfect.

FRC stands for Fixed Roof Coupe. it was made in 99 and 00. the top does not come off, it is solid, and the rear window is shorter and does not flip it. this structure is more rigid and lighter, in 01 it was carried onto the Z06 models
