2015 Z06 Coupe and Convertible Side-by-Side

[1]Say you are a Corvette fanatic (aren’t we all?), but you are one of those Corvette fanatics that has a lot of disposable income – what do you do with that money burning a hole in your pocket? Our vote would be to use some of that unwanted money and purchase a 2015 Z06 which promises to be the most advanced Corvette [2] ever made.

With all the hype that is being generated by the 2015 Z06, details seem to emerge on a daily basis shedding light on the finished product. We recently covered the updated power figures [3] in the 2015 Z06 and to the astonishment of all, the 650 hp figure was more than what was previously reported. The 2015 Z06 promises to be a top tier performance car with new technology, a new power plant, and more downforce than any production GM vehicle. 

There is one minor problem that faces potential buyers head-on. If you are fortunate enough to be waiting to purchase a 2015 Z06, do you buy a coupe or do you buy a convertible? 

This is a daunting decision because while the coupe is the classic Z06 design and may offer more protection if the car ever went upside-down, the convertible is just new and awesome. GM was never able to offer a Z06 convertible before because prior generations have not had stiff enough frames. With the extensive amount of time GM spent designing the C7’s considerably more sturdy frame, a convertible Z06 option is now a reality! 

The convertible option might also be tough to ignore because who wouldn’t want to be able to go for a cruise with the top down and wind in your hair mid-summer? Well, to help with your decision process, check out the video showing both coupe and convertible side-by-side. Can we just have one of each? Please?
