Car: Mazda MX-3 Rep Power: 27 | The coupe and targa ones look a lot better, also i guess the targa will be stiffer. But most people dont buy these cars to drive them properly anyway. |

Rep Power: 0 | Unlike other cars the Z06 doesnt require much stiffness from the bodyshell or roof because of the way its been designed. |

Car: None; later rather than sooner Rep Power: 82 | The Targa defintiely looks much better, very Ferrari 308 GTS. Still, an open-topped Z06 is like a dominatrix teddy bear: loses something in the transtlation. |

Rep Power: 0 | at least the guy didn't go cutting the roof off a perfectly good car. That would have been stupid. I just looked at the Targa one, and they actually cut the roof off that one......why? |

Car: Jaguar X-Type 3.0 Rep Power: 19 | It is entirely possible that this is a factory job, they do offer a convertible version of the corvette. Also as said before few people are going to drive this hard, and not hard enough that a convertible will matter.
