We know the C8 Corvette has what it takes to be great: a torquey, powerful engine mounted low and in the middle, quick, accurate steering, a brilliant ride, lots of features, and the performance of a $150,000 Porsche 911 for around half that. Plus, even in the regular "coupe" the targa roof is, (and for the last 50 years or so has been) removable; a true "best of both worlds" scenario. For that reason, enthusiasts, and even Corvette owners as I formerly was, look down on the Convertibles. Historically, the soft top not only changes the fabulous coupe lines, but also prevents you from attending some track days - cementing the "old guy having a crisis" image. Now, taking a page *directly* from the Ferrari 458 Playbook, the Corvette Convertible features a well-insulated power-retractable hardtop that looks great raised, looks even better lowered, and - get this - doesn't intrude on the rear trunk space in any way. Remember 2021 - it was the year the Corvette Convertible finally got cool.

GM provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.
