Red & Black Vert is the best of the best

Picture yourself rolling into a Vette confab thus equiped to kill:

This is what I have on order in Reds and Blacks - Lots of Reds, but I figure the Blacks shall balance out and compliment the Reds

Convertible Z51 w/Black Top
Torch Red
3LT w/Adrenaline Red Interior
Red Calipers
Black Wheels
Carbon Fiber Interior Dash (Black)
Carbon Flash Outside Mirrors and Spoiler (Black)
Carbon Flash Hood Stinger (Black)
Front Cover (Black) - For Across Country Travel to National Parks
7 Speed
Magnetic Selective Ride Control
Performance Exhaust
Personalized Plaque
Custom Sill Plates
Stingray Logo Center Wheel Caps
Front License Plate Bracket
Battery Protection Package
Premium Floor Mats
Cargo Mat
Stingray Outdoor Cover
Stingray Indoor Cover

All for around $73K

You can see why my dealer was more than willing to give me $1,000 below MSRP

I live in FL. I have had convertibles since 1998. I am going with the convertible. I have not gotten my allocation yet, but my current thinking is midnight racing blue, khalari (tan) interior and top. I am also considering the cyber metal. I think it will be very popular and am leaning toward the blue to stand out a little more

I agree! I clearly need a bigger garage for winter storage now.

Two things about the Vert I like over the Coupe. 1st - It has about the coolest opening/closing top ever that shall attract much attention especially when opening and closing it at 30MPH. 2nd - I am partial to trunk lids over hatches, and the C7 has a nicely sculptured lid that outdoes the hatch.

Gotta be the vert. But I may think differently after I see the targa top, how long it takes to remove/install it & how it secures in the trunk when it's off.

After having problems with my Camaro vert (3 fabric tops & 1 frame replacement), I'm gonna wait until the 2d year of C7 verts is out before I even TRY to think about getting one. I'll be in my last 2 years of payments on the camaro & may be able to actually get some trade in value from it.

But that means the C7 would be my DD - I don't know if I'd want to do that. I'd end up getting divorced because I'd be spending so much time in that car.....

This is a hard question to answer.... IMO, I feel a coupe looks best vs a vert with the top up... Put the top down on a vert, looks better than the coupe top on or off...

If you were to ask me 5 months ago, it would have been coupe, no questions asked. Never owned a vert and never had plans to own one. But then I saw this on the showroom floor and it was love at first sight. I've even gotten to like the appearance with the top up (see the one behind the one I bought with the top up). The stinger stripe and the carbon flash metallic spoiler helps the look too. Then with the 7 speed manual, this is a true sports car. I've only driven it with the top up maybe 4 times at the most and mostly because it was short hops between stops and I didn't want to keep putting the top up & down so much. Obviously that will change in about 3 months. So, you can say I've been con-verted... get it??
Good luck with the big decision.

Had a coupe for 8-months and its lines looks really nice... I'd get a coupe again but currently I'm rollling on a 'vert.



It's a win-win, IMO. So I like them both... yet as others stated the convertible with its top dropped is simply dropdead gorgeous.

When I was shopping around and still the truth today, dealers are more willing to discount the convertible than the coupe. Conv offer 3000 off msrp but not the coupe

Supply vs demand but in this cars case not a big difference
