glass roof question

[metal_driver]

When I first heard the price of the glass roof I ruled it out as an option... right up until I test drove a GT500 which happened to have a glass roof. As soon as the sales rep pulled the shade back I was sold. It was a hot day so I also checked the interior temp on two cars sitting out in the sun after the drive (one with glass and the other without). There was virtually no difference at all.
I love the panoramic view - it really opens it up inside the car. Great option - well worth the coin in my opinion.

My 2015 will have the glass roof.

I tried to search some videos but had no luck. Without trying to sound like an idiot, with the glass roof does that make the stripe option unavailable? If you could have the stripe I'm assuming it obviously wouldn't go across the roof, and if that is true I think it would look weird. Any help is appreciated.

Talking to my dealer yesterday, he was basically telling me I should save my money and skip the glass roof. he said the couple that they have had basically sat on the lot. He said the sliding cover is thin and lets heat in. I really like the glass roof and the car will be kept covered in my garage next to my Lightning. I'm really leaning toward the roof but just wondering if the money should go somewhere else? I guess I could eliminate the track pack as I'm almost positive it will never see the track. Damn why can't I just be rich

If you want it get it.

You'll only regret it later on if you don't.

Not sure if it matters to you or not but the glass roof adds 29lbs.

Bruno - that's exactly my frame of mind!
hufen - I'll never be pushing this beast to its potential so I'm ok with the 29lbs

I have the glass roof in my GT/CS and love it. Never had any issues with heat. All cars get hot if sitting out in the sun. I will order a glass roof on my 13/14 GT500.

Thank you for the post! Glass roof it is!

I'm picturing in my mind, a GT500 with glass roof and racing stripes. Assuming the stripes don't go accross the glass roof - seems that the car would look incomplete or missing something. Seems that glass roof would require the stripe delete option to look right.

I agree, I saw a 2012 back in October that was red with white stripes. the stripes were on the hood and trunk. Did not feel like it stripes fit in.

I have it in my 2012 and I'm gonna order it in my 2013

How's the headroom on the glass roof compared to the regular roof?

If at all possible, could you snap some pics for me? Inside and out? I would REALLY appreciate it

I remember sitting in the '13 GT500 at the Chicago auto show that had the glass roof. It was interesting, better than I expected it to be. I love the open air ride of a convertable but not being able to track the car eliminates that option for me this go around. If the glass roof really does only add 30ish lbs to the car then I think I will strongly consider ordering it.

I think it feels more open inside the car. My only concern is how will it hold up? basic wear and tear? sun damage, spider cracking or scratching. also how safe is it?


I know the corvettes hold up pretty well, and those can be removed..
