Michael Simari with CARandDRIVER wrote... Corvettes have always been about open motoring. The first generation was convertible only, and every generation since has offered a top-down version. The mid-engine C8 is no exception. But while previous Corvette convertibles offered a complete top-down experience, the C8 convertible offers only about a third more openness than the targa with its carbon-fiber roof panel removed. The convertibles major difference from the coupe is that it eliminates the permanent section of the roof that spans the C-pillars. The convertible also does away with the sloping backlight that offers a view of the LT2 engine, instead turning the C-pillars into flying buttresses. In the process, the one-piece cover for the engine and trunk is split into separate lids. The changes dont detract at all from the C8s looks, and Chevrolet even claims that the drag coefficient is unchanged. As on the C7 convertible, you can access the sunshine at the push of a button rather than by having to undo three latches and physically remove the roof panel. The top disappears in about 16 seconds and can be lowered at speeds up to 30 mph, thanks to six electric motors that open the rear-hinged engine cover and retract the two-piece roof into a neat, nested bundle that stows just behind the cockpit. The push-button operation makes the convertible painless to use, even for short trips. And the up-to-30-mph operation means you can raise and lower the top while waiting at a stoplight without worrying if the light will change with the top in mid-cycle and force you to hold up traffic. What hasnt changed is the C8s fine combination of refinement and performance. Driven calmly on back roads, the ride is excellent, engine noise is moderate, and the car is a pleasant cruiser, top up or down. The twin-clutch transmission shifts so smoothly that you only notice the shifts if you focus on the engine note or the tachometer.
