T-Tops for Your New Camaro? - Page 6 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For me, it's all or nothing. I agree with Casull's ranking:
Vert > t-tops > sunroof > coupe

Course I wasn't convinced on 5th gen until I saw the convertible. So I'm biased.

But if the car's supposed to be based on 1st gen and sort of a "where would that have gone if we'd not ever gone to second gen" then maybe T-tops would have never happened. There were no Ts in first gen. I'm just saying. Ts really took off in the Smokey and the Bandit years. Damn, that was one fine T/A.

One word for whoever likes that vertical Maxima sunroof: wha?

Coupe. More rigid, less weight

edit- actually it's a hardtop, but close nuff. Add in a roll cage and the difference should be minimal

But they had also commented in one article I had read about how there were also some stylings taking from the 2nd gen. There were t-tops in the 2nd gens

(I am trying to hold out hope here, people)

I will say that it is honestly going to be HARD for me to give up my Camaro I have now because it has t-tops and I wanted them for so long.

If the Camaro came out with t-tops I would be rushing to get one, no matter what the price was and no matter what kind of loan I had to get lol. But without t-tops... I mean I love the car, but I would REALLY LOOOOOOVE the car if I could get my t-tops.

IMHO, I really don't think they would hurt the looks of the car and the "lines" of the car...

GM gives me t-tops and I'll do this :tweetz: HAHA!

LOL...shut up Dragon, the mullet was cool....lol

Yeah, just for the record, let's all try to keep from having that same "reputation" revived when we get our Camaros on the road. Like much of the 80's we don't need to bring that back.

A little off topic,.. but has anyone heard plans on GM making a T-top model? As far as the "technical" aspect goes, no 1st gen ever had Ts. But I'm dieing for a T-top model.

*Mindz* · 08-01-2007, 08:09 PM

This was discussed in another thread. The structure of the roof would be very difficult to keep it sturdy enough. I doubt they have plans for it at this time. Besides, they'd be tiny.

No...it's on topic...now that the post has been moved!

acscamarochick06 · 08-01-2007, 10:13 PM

the Camaro & Firebird are pretty much the only cars left with t-tops....

I would hate to see them die out because they are kickass!

(Or atleast I love them!)
