Corvette Hat Trick

The last two years had been especially memorable for Corvette fans, with an entirely new and spectacular Corvette for 1997 followed by the addition of a convertible in 1998. 1999 would also be special, with an unprecedented third body style becoming part of the lineup.
The new hardtop model had many advantages over the coupe. Although the coupe had slightly better aerodynamics*, the hardtop was lighter and therefore faster. Since it was not an open car, the structure was more solid. It would also cost less to build since the expenses involved with the rear window hatch and the targa roof hardware was eliminated.
*coupe: .29 Cd; convertible: .34 Cd; hardtop: .31 Cd.
