GM knows it market very well. As you said, they understand that an overwhelming percentage of Z06s buyers will never ever take their cars to a track.

The question for someone like me, who I believe represents the vast majority of potential Z06 buyers, is will I be satisfied with a high reving, low torque Corvette on the street? Maybe I will and maybe I won't. Until I have a better answer to that question, I'm staying on the sidelines for now.
The Z06 was 100% designed for the track. The convertible is just a byproduct of the fantastic chassis that sees no drop in performance in convertible form.

And offering it in non-Z07 is just so that folks that want to drive it mainly for street use can do so.
