Sorry to tell you but the Z06 was a HARD-TOP, which means it wasnt removable at all. I remember reading that this was because roof added structural integrity for better handling and less weight.

If it's not a FRC (fixed roof coupe), it is NOT a Z06.

Default Here a convertible ... Z06

Maybe I'm wrong, but, here are the convertible specs:

If I'm wrong about it being a Z06, then, it couldn't have not been stock. Oh well, thanks for the info. I'm going to pull the guy over next time I see him and ask him what's done to it. Then, I'll post back here and let you know.

I don't see a convertible Z06 anywhere.

Trust me...a Z06 is a FRC only.

That proved everyone wrong! Try again friend, there's no vert Z06's outside of the aftermarket ie. carrivagio.....or whatever the hell the name of that company is.

... hehe ... wasn't trying to prove anybody wrong ... just seeing how livid about proving ME wrong that you are ... 5 minutes and got the daylights beat out of me by you guys. Y'all killin' me ... LOL!!! Have you never been wrong before?

I have found quite a few Z06 Corvettes that are convertibles, however, they were all customized and the one I raced sure wasn't a 'one-in-a-thousand that are.

Anyway, I was wrong, so, what are you going to beat up on me about, now?
I come here for the comaradere, friendship, and enjoyment. If I'm wrong about something why does that make me such a bad person? I don't understand some of you. Most people here are cool about things, but, man you guys love to batter people when they're wrong. I'll bet you have never been wrong about anything, though.

Now go ahead and lock the thread down like you did the last one ... put the little gay avatar in there again before you do ... just like you did when tried every way in the world to make me call you bad names ... and you couldn't. Well, you still can't and I still wish you well. I'm one of the nicest people you'll ever meet ... wish you knew me in this life. Oh well, we'll meet in the next one, I hope, in heaven. If not, I'll be your First Sergeant in hell.

Yeah I noticed after I raised hell on the last one and made EVERYONE look stupid they shut it down...Just people that like to make you feel like dirt and when someone really defends you and makes them feel worse, they all get their panties in a bunch.

Nice kill.

Personally, I don't care if you killed a Z06 but from what I read in this thread, peeps were just trying to set the record straight and I don't believe anyone said you were a bad person because you might have mistaken a C5 for Z06.

Maybe it was a Z06 with after-market roof but as pointed out, from the factory, every single Z06 came with hard top.

Nice kill...
I am just reconfirming that Z06 come in hardtops only... Does anyone know how much it cost to have the top cut off and make it convertible anyways? Not that I would ever do that because I don't like verts at all...
