Have you looked at C6 Z06?

No sunroof. Not on the option list. Extra weight too far above CG.
One of the reasons I got mine. No holes in the roof. It rains in Seattle.

Lightweight car. It's going to be noisy. A number of people have added Dynamat to be quieter.

Full BRZ interior disassembly for sound deadening - lots of pics, every panel off

I checked into a Corvette before ordering my Boxster. 5" wider and it's difficult enough to back the Porsche into the garage (narrow doors). I'd need therapy after a session trying to get the big Chevy in.

I was wondering about that. With our choices of cars over the years, not expecting Lincoln-level quiet, but Dynamat might be worthwhile, and not too many additional pounds.

This problem was not covered by my Carmax warranty. I didn't even want a sunroof.

The car was a competent handler and quick enough to not feel slow, but FWD was rarely fun to drive. I think the best selling point was that the interior is really very good, comfortable, good for road trips or commuting...as long as the roof isn't pissing hot water on to your wife.

I actually feel pretty lucky that the new BRZ is coming out right now when I need a car anyway.

See I had a MK7 Golf with no sunroof. Very competent daily driver. Better than any car I've ever owned for commuting and was a blast on the Tail of the Dragon when I lived in Chattanooga. I never had any real issues with it besides it once threw a CEL for the passenger seat weight sensor but it never came back.

Sunroofs are shit all around IMO.

Open top or nothing.
