I'm glad it's not real. A convertible Z06 is just as gay as an automatic tranny Z06. At least GM was smart enough to never make one.

apparently you didnt see what damage the auto tranny can do when linked to an ls7, true not as fun but way more consistent times and shift points

Theres a local guy with a C5 Z06 convertible, I guess some guy that worked at the plant made it. Then he got a hold of it a few years back. It is for sure a factory Z06 vert though, not a clone.
