It appears that this one also has the dual calipers on the rear wheels.Comment

looks like a removable top also.Comment

Coupe, I agree.
The rear view camera on the convertible sits in a little nub on top of the roof, whereas the coupe version sits within a holder that is flush with the rear window.2020 C8 Corvette.D.O.B 2/03/2020

I'm seeing the roof line further back, at the coupe location. It's the easiest thing to cover in camo anyway. The car looks a lot like the one we saw earlier posing in the park. That was a coupe. Without a better angle and resolution I wouldn't want to get into a big argument.

I agree. you can't see the vents at the edge of the rear "window", which the coupe has. Unless, of course, they're now covering those up with camo, too.Originally posted by 4U2ENV View PostDelivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Natural w/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust

Look at the pointy angle of the rear window surround as it hits the rear deck area. Convertibles don't have a pointy rear window sloping to the back. Plus you can't see the camera which can be seen on the convertible.Originally posted by meyerweb View Post

Looks like "Chuck Jackson who works as an Assignment Editor for @Local4News in Detroit" got pretty good access. Betcha he's got more photos.
Is that a Jersey barrier on the left side of the car?Last edited by Boomer; 01-08-2019, 05:16 PM.Comment
