Custom Z06 droptop
From VWVortexOriginally Posted by JustinCSVT
My uncle had his C6Z sent off to be turned into a convertible sometime in March by a company called Caravaggio. It's getting a new interior also. I though that he should've started off with a C6 Vert and modded from there but hey, he's got cash to burn. The number of these in the US is in the single digits.
The car is also Procharged and makes around 650whp I believe. He sent me these a few days ago.
Vossen CV3 20x9 & 20x10.5
Lol, isn't GM now selling a Vert Z06 or maybe next year. Thought I read that somewhereSeems like you'd really be messing up the zo6's structural rigidity IMO. I'd have started with a C6 vert. and swapped the fenders etc

i love verts, they shouldve made these. most older dudes like verts better than coupes, and they prob couldve sold alot of them.
do not want
Car has a lot more interior space without the seat.
looks niceee
Fail. Do not want.
True story.
top-down side profile does not look good with the windows up either:
Is that a Z06? I don't see the air intake behind the door...top-down side profile does not look good with the windows up either:

Course 2
no, I didn't say it was.
Vert looks better than the regular Z06.
i'd rather just have the regular ones,
plus not a fan of verts at all...
I'd like one of those lol I'd like to see more pics when the interior is done. Looks really nice so far top notch work
dont see how that car is a fail. the only fail is that gm didnt make the z06 verts.
Caravaggio is an awesome company but I thought they were more into high class interiors than chop/cut/rebuild sorta stuff. You cant really chop the top without losing structural integrity so that's a no-go for me at any price.
GM is selling a Grand sport package that puts a full Z06 bodykit and brakes into a C6 vert but not the motor. Guess they'll do anything to make money at this point.
The C6 ZO6s don't have those intakes.
Cool idea...I guess. I wouldn't buy a performance model without a roof though. That's why I don't understand the Spyder versions of the F430 Scuderia or M3 Convertibles etc.
?? The Z06 and ZR1 have the rear brake intakes.
This car has some aftermarket "bling" in there.
Well I obviously don't know what I'm talking about...haha.
I thought he was referring to these.
i like it, looks like its done well.
Z06s aren't supposed to be verts.
Thats the C5 Z06I thought he was referring to these.
The C5s don't have them, neither do the C6s. It makes C5Zs easy to spot from the side.
Stylin' and profilin'...that's most Vette owners.
says who? you?
Looks straight to me..
exactly, looks very good
I like the idea but the actual car, as stated before, will lose its performance on teh track. I would fell really sorry for the wind shield cause its going to take a lot of damage in the turns.
"Yo son, u need 2 put dat chevy on some 4s wid a lil liff maine. An den get sum candy 4 it, den you have dat sh*t lukin rite"
I agree. I mean...why buy a performance model if you're going to sacrifice your handling when you don't need to? Unless showing off is that important...
no they are making a grand sport.Lol, isn't GM now selling a Vert Z06 or maybe next year. Thought I read that somewhere
how is a car that fast and pulls bitches fail????? i wonder about some ppl on the site.
Says GM.
The Corvette base model is a better performance platform than most cars on the road, to begin with. The whole idea of the Z06 was to make the cars PURELY performance-oriented.......so they are always hardtop and always manual transmissions. It was actually odd they even added options for the Z06, since the car is supposed to be focused on performance rather than comfort.
Having a convertible would just completely go against the whole idea of the Z06.
