This
is one C5 to die for, or at least to get sick over. The Ferrari influence
is definitely present. In profile, with the roof off, the LM looks decidedly
exotic in a way John Caravaggio feels the stock Z06 should be.
He
explained, "A lot of people want a new Z06, but they complain about the
same thing. You cant take the roof off the car. So what we did was give
them the option."
For
$6,495, Caravaggio Corvettes in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada, will convert
any Z06 or earlier fixed roof coupe into a targa body style. They use the
rear backlite from the Corvette and manufacture the exterior fiberglass rear
section, along with one interior trim piece, to make it all work.
Such
is the starting point for the LM series, based directly off the Z06, the one
Corvette now available
