Of all the variants of the Corvette C7 Stingray, our favorite is the Corvette Z06 Convertible simply because it has all the goodies of the models below it. You get the cool looks of the Stingray, the serious punch of the Z06, and the of course, all the wind you want in your hair. But don’t think for a second that because it’s a convertible this Z06 is not a serious performer.
As you can see in this video of a grey Corvette Z06 Convertible drag racing at the Spring Event on Weeze Airport, this car is as good as looking good park in front of your favorite restaurant as it is on the drag strip tearing competition, and its own tires, to pieces:
