Nice! Perhaps I am just crazy, but I always liked the Corvette better as a convertible in every generation. Sure the coupes look good, but to me there is just something special about a Corvette convertible. Got to love that roadster look.
I guess I haven’t been paying attention. I was not aware the Corvette is now a mid-engine design. Although the lower polar moment of inertia elevates it into a higher performance class, it seems somehow not Corvette-ish.
Not sure if there’s much of a difference between the targa top and vert to be worth the extra coin.

The targa top does not have a button that in one push will remove or reinstall it.
I have always preferred flip tops.Sounds good.

The C7 just did not do it for me, but, this one really looks to be the next real deal..an average man can own a race car! maybe they are just growing on me...have a C3 and C5 now...going to Corvette show today,should hear more there

I was thinking more the clean lines of the previous verts versus the targa. Not liking the rear posts or whatever they’re calling them on the C8 vert.
Of course, in less than two weeks I may change all that if they have a vert in Carlisle.

Just a few minuets ago I learned that a C8 Vert was on display down in Albany by a local dealer yesterday. (DePaula) From the picture I saw in the newspaper it sure looked good. (also quite a large crowd there). Paper said there were enough Vettes driven by the "lookers'' parked all over to make a nice car show.

Great platform, competitive super car performance and handling, terrific value....but why must the GM design folks "Chevify" the small details and finishes to make the cars look cheap and overly contrived? That said, I'd opt for the targa and be quite happy.

I think they took cruise missile, put a body and 4 wheels on it! I hope they removed the warhead.
Need more info!
That would be a huge scoop. The C8 convertible has not yet been officially revealed as of right now...August 10, 2019; @ 1808 EDT.
Can you post a link to the newspaper photo, please? I did search...nothing found.
Thx!

This looks like computer version of how it would work.

If there’s one on display next weekend I’ll get some pics.

Think about it,
The AC Cobras. The Mustang GT. The GT40. All designed to whup up the Euros.
I love the sickness of a big block anything but if you want to compete..... If you want to win...…
Just sit back and watch. Corvette just opened up a can of whup as.
I's still rather have a '67 427 Roadster.

I guess since I can't say anything nice about it, I won't say anything.
