C6 "Z06" convertible....
Well not quite... but kinda. This addresses the one issue I have with the Z06... you can't take the top off. Sorry but I'm a big fan of open-air driving... targa or vert is fine... I know it defeats the purpose of the Z06... but I just think it would be really cool if it had an option for a targa top.. let alone a convertible. If I had spent that much on a car and couldn't enjoy some open air driving... I dunno I would just be longing for it.

here's the story on this.... kinda extreme...

Father and Son wanted C6 Z06 Convertibles. The General didn't make them. So that bought two new Verts and all the Z06 body panels to make them. They are presently at MTI being converted to 427's

Sure won't handle like the Z06, but that MTI 427 package with a nice cam would sure as hell embarass one at the track.
