I just read as the final model in the C6 line they are building a short run of Z06 convertibles but it isn't actually called that despite having the Z06 motor, hood, flared fenders etc!

I have an 07 convertible purchased new. Converted to Grand Sport, added dual mode exhaust. Truly an awesome car. Have only had to change the oil and replace the battery due to my neglect. Love the car and it is my 9th Corvette.

It is not a stretch to be in production, it is basically the Grand Sport. The advantage of the Z06 is no body stress when turning, accelerating etc. You add the power/weight etc into a Conv, it will be fun to drive but it will not handle as well as an actual Z06. Not that 99% of the people will ever be able to drive it to it's potential anyway...

i have had both 2008 convert and Z06 the z06 is WAY more car... its more than just a bigger engine.

Yeah - but the Z06 won't be in my price range - I want something I can completely treat as a DD. It will NEVER be in the garage (because I don't have any garage space), and I'm not going to treat it like a queen. Just get in and drive, so I couldn't justify the extra 10+k for the Z06.

Charlie - you had any problems of consequence on yours with that mileage?

1 alternator, 4 sets of tires/brakes, computer glitches

Nothing serious. But it costs 2700 for brakes and tires once a year.

'05 Machine Silver coupe with 6M trans with only 18K on it. Bone stock without any mods. Really nice to drive. May look to step up to a ZO6 someday, let me know if you have an interest in it down the road.

Correct. It's a grand sport basically with the LS7 in it. First one sold at Barrett Jackson for 600k!

I had an 08, man do I miss that car. Sold it for a CTS-V and missed the vette still. Sold the V now to pay off boat and save up for a C7.

I highly recommend a C6, and think the LS3 is the way to go. Has a better interior, more power, better shifting and steering. I had about 36k on mine when I sold it, no issues. Not really high miles, but high for a vette.
