I could have done without hearing that, but I'm not surprised of that angle from Govt Motors.

There Are Three Seat Options

GT1 - a sporty style seat with emphasis on comfort, with good support for performance driving situations. Mulan leather trim, optional two-way lumbar support, and bolster adjustment.

GT2 - A middle-ground seat added to the Corvette lineup because too many customers were checking every box and getting Competition Sport racing seats as a result—those seats are great for track days but not so much for daily driving. The GT2 includes carbon-fiber trim, Nappa leather inserts, Mulan leather bolsters, a jet black painted seatback, two-way lumbar support and bolster adjustment, and heating and ventilation.

Competition Sport - For the serious, track-focused driver only, these have aggressive bolsters, full Nappa leather seating surfaces and carbon-fiber trim on the headrest. They have heating and ventilation, and a new Kevlar-vest-inspired durable performance textile, as well.

2020 Chevy Corvette Convertible pre-production

Quote:
Yes, the standard C8 comes with a removable roof, but the convertible is different. It has a roof that folds away, no fuss no muss, whereas you’ll have to manually remove the Stingray’s top then occupy some of the car’s precious cargo area to store it. At this point, Chevrolet offers no details on the convertible, and a freeze-frame of the video includes text saying it’s a preproduction model that could differ from the droptop ‘Vette you’ll eventually see at dealerships. Its arrival is another mystery, though if we look at previous Corvette reveals, the convertible could be just a few months away from its own grand unveiling.

I wasn’t sure about it at first look because it was not immediately recognizable as a Corvette with the radical changes but then again ‘62-‘63 was a radical change, ‘67-‘68 was radical along with the ‘82-‘84. It’s GM’s flagship and it’s supposed to lead, not follow. I love the bird’s eye view of it but I’m really diggin’ how the upper intake plenum looks like a spine! Final thoughts are: this is the one Zora always wanted.

The camaro styling in the mow hawk look to the roof and other Camaro like styling traits like the wide rear end look and the shape of the tail lights are a plus.
