I like it! I really like it!!
If the auto trans can be built to reliably handle 800+ ft/lb then I could even see myself in an auto.

do they all really list the HP/TQ figures in the car or is that a clever advertisement?
I think it looks pretty cool with the top down... It should just have no top...or a hard top. I dunno, the soft top, to me, kills the look of the car.

I would take it if someone gave it to me and trade it for the targa. Not a fan or convertibles at all. GM will sell more ZO6s with this option so it makes sense financially.

Yes, plus to add to that a 8 speed auto is now available too. Many of the older customer base will now buy too that an auto will be available. You know us old farts really like our autos. lol

Well you know I love girl transmissions as well lol. It's a fair car, if Porsche can make the 911 Turbo a vert, why not a ZO6? 458 is a vert as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong. . (I'm sure you will) if you purchase va convertible for a track car... you need to install a roll bar or have a part of the car able to act as a roll bar. Or as some European cars have, deployable rods in the pillar behind the driver?

Fordplay, I am 99% sure, you are right. Rollbars need to be installed if they are not provided factory for track use on convertibles.

If I had the money I'd have one in a heartbeat. I'd probably pick this coupe but this one is awesome.

Every track event I've been in require convertibles to have a roll bar. Tech will even make some guys get in with there helmets on to ensure the bar goes high enough above their head to work. I like the top down on the Z06, but I like the coupe more.
