Not sure why they did away with t tops. My 89 formula had them and I loved them.
Anyway I got. Sunroof and enjoy it.
At 5 ' 10 I don't have any issues but anyone over 6' won't be to comfortable.

Its a personal preference. I bought my current SS with an L99/auto (when I really wanted LS3/6M) because it had a sunroof. No regrets. However, as punk5150 says, if youre over 6' tall, theres no headroom. Caveat emptor: test drive before buying.

Love my sunroof but it is tight if you have to wear a helmet.

Because the 80's had to end eventually... even if it was a decade too late.

I have a sunroof and like it, especially on nice summer days. Rare to find someone who has one and wishes they didn't.

Definitely. Like a cave with no sunroof. Fresh air when open. At the drive-in, the kids stand up and watch the movie that way

Hey so I'm short but do have the sunroof. I absolutely love it on my 2SS/RS though I do find it to be a bit of an eyesore when open. There was probably no place for them to tuck it away due to the curvature of the vehicle so when when it's open, it's an ugly profile. However, I do love it!

Anyway, the one person was spot on when they said to test drive it with one given your height.

Good luck and we look forward to seeing the photos of your new ride!

I thought about getting a sun roof when I upgraded two weeks ago.......but it would have looked like hell on the convertible........so I left that option out!

Ive had sunroofs......barely ever used them, now a vert? I definitely use it
