I like the Z06 as a hardtop... doesn't need a targa top, doesn't need T-tops... good the way it is...

62 Z06 never had em, why should the 01/02 have em?

The Z06 shouldn't just be offered w/ t-tops and vert, it NEEDS to be offered in the t-tops and vert. Ready Motor Trends huge car compairision, they agree. If I remember right was the Z06 didn't (some word like astound) us, if GM wanted to do that they'd offer the LS6 in the coupe and convertible.

Kinda like 91/92 Z28 350s, I'd never own one, even if they are like the fastest Thirdgens ever made (stock) because they only have hard tops.

I love that color but unfortunately it doesn't go with much, lol


and no, it doesn't need to be a vert or t-top ...

Not everything needs to have removable rooves or roof pieces.

Yeah, you can take your Z06 vette to Skunkwerks, and they will make it a convertible for you.

Also, with the new 405hp LS6, those 2002 Z06s run 0-60 in 3.9 seconds! Thats a super car right there everyone.

Now, let me get this party started right by talking about the new SuperVette GM is talking about doing.

Sticker Price - $100,000

Engine - V-12 from the Caddy Cien Concept

Power - 750hp... need I say more?

I read about it in the new Autoweek. I could copy the little article on it if you guys want....

You are right, Aaron, not every car needs to have a removable roof, only cars worth the plastic and metal they are built with need to have a removable roof. Sorry, had to clear that up
