camaro sunroof affect performance?

[Kendall421]

WOW! These posts are brutal and funny! No car that comes off assembly line is a racecar. Period. But if you plan to track the car, high weight is bad for moment center and roll center. But for 99% of drivers, this is not the case. I raced dirt late model for 23 years...real purpose built tube chassis race cars. My 1LE has a sunroof and I would not have it any other way. I am in Michigan too, not Fla, CA, or Tx. My car is a sunny day car... Roof is open 95% of the miles driven. I am 6' 1" tall and head room is no issue...just tilt the seat back a little. LOL Enjoy the sun and breeze my friends!

Well I'm a 170 lb pencil neck so I have a weight advantage on my L99 over yours. Better watch out for me! I wear a small T-shirt actually uh oh....

Why is a sunroof a "must have" in Texas?

Between the weight and the lack of head room.

Someone who is a true enthusiast who loves to track their cars would not opt for this option.

That is why the Z28 does not have a sunroof or vert opt.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, well other than making a point of who is a true enthusiast. I didn't know owning a 1LE with a sunroof was against enthusiast rules.

You should point that out in person the next time your at a local show or car club. That way allot of people can just walk away shaking their heads.
Not the performance part but the enthusiast part.

As much as the people following a 14/15 Camaro with RS tail lights.

I stand by remark on the True enthusiast, and if someone did ask me my opinion at any car show or meet, I would give 100% my opinion, like it or not.

Would it make a difference if I Plasti-Coated the back half of the sunroof?

Get a convertible. Two cars in one. No visibility or headroom problems.
