The car is not convert because the solid roof gives more structure. And I think that's more true to a performance model IMO*.

nice that some people can waste money by buying a corvette, and destroying it by ripping the roof off. and the vid proves they are even more retarded because the driver said "I'm so happy right now" as they are driving away.

Corvette ZR1 (which you CANNOT get from the factory, the targa top or the convertible top)


There you go. Another priceless lesson of corvettes from Me.

Exotic Corvettes that have another company's name on it are not Corvettes. That would be like calling this C16 a Corvette. When we talk about Corvettes, let's make sure that we're talking about Chevys.

you guys need to do some research before you start bashing people based on an online vid. that vid is old. and the reason they were kicking the top off was that GM used some shitty adhesive for the top panel and after a period of time/heat it would seperate and start flapping as you were driving.

so the two guys in the video were doing the smart and safe thing by removing it on the side of the road rather than keep driving with it flapping in the wind where it could come off at any time and possibly hurt another driver on the road.

just fyi.

Okay, okay. The video doesn't explain that part as to why they are taking it off. All I see is two guys who decided to rip the top off of a corvette on the side of the road. So you figure they either 1, got tired of it being there or 2, your situation. But you would have to admit, if a guy has the money and doesn't care, it is likely that situation 1 could be a possible scenario right I could see it happening...
