Granted, the Corvette Coupe can put the wind in your hair. The one-piece removable panel (body colored or translucent) that makes up the middle of the roof lifts out easily when it's time for motoring al fresco. And it costs about $7,000 less than the Convertible.
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.
