Introduction What could possibly be cooler than a new C5 Corvette?

You guessed it: a new C5 Corvette Convertible, one of the most formidable blends of performance, panache, and price on this planet. (Or, as far as we know, any other.)

"So what?" you could say. "You can open up the top of the Corvette coupe, too."

And technically, you'd be right. Although a hardtop version is planned, every C5 coupe that's rolled out of the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, to date is a T-top. The twin glass panels that make up the middle of the roof lift out easily when it's time for motoring al fresco. And this costs about $7,000 less than the convertible.

Although there are a number of very good sports cars in the same price range as the Corvette, it doesn't really seem to have any direct competitors.

But there's an essential difference in style here, a carefree brio that no coupe can match, no matter how many roof panels are removed. And in this case, the brio is not only carefree, it's also hair-raising, literally, as well as figuratively.

Unlike most convertibles, the new Corvette ragtop weighs the same as its coupe counterpart, which means its acceleration performance is undiluted: 0-to-60 mph in less than 5 seconds with the 6-speed manual transmission, about 0.4 seconds slower with the automatic.

The automatic is standard in all Corvettes, the six-speed an $815 option. But automatic or stick, the new Vette is fast traffic--quick at the starting gate, beautifully balanced, surprisingly comfortable, and built to a far higher standard than any Corvette in history. Next Page
