Well sunroof question answered (PIC) - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I could live with it. I'd probably have it closed 90% of time anyhow and just have the shade pulled back to let the light in or watch the rain fall while I'm sitting in traffic.

What I really want to know is who do you have to know at GM to get your hands on the one-off red RS just to advertise your raffle? And who do I contact to buy a ticket (seriously)?

Well I was debating between the sunroof and the standard reverse mohawk and these pics have settled it for me: reverse mohawk it is.

that does look very cheap indeed. It doesnt matter to me anyways, I was never going to get a camaro with a sunroof anyways.

You are exactly right - -we could put a sliding sunroof on the Camaro that slides into the roof -- BUT -- you would lose a considerable amount of headroom (bad for those of us over 6 feet tall -- ) -- OR -- raise the roof which completely ruins the look of the car. (trust me - we tried it.....)

I'll have to test drive both a hard top and a sunroof.will want to hear the noise with it open and closed.see how it looks from the inside.then i'll make my decision.

^^ do you ever worry about getting in trouble for giving out TMI?

Seriously though, its just really neat to hear the kind of stuff that goes on behind the scenes that none of us really know about but care about. thanks for all the insight you've ginen us all throughout your posts!!

Lil off topic here.. and i know ill probably get yelled at for saying this...but...

I really really love the door handles.. I like them a lot better than concept..

anyone else agree?

I am a fan of the sunroof that slides into the roof and not this type of one. Reason being I am rarely going to have it open during the summer in vegas with the sun beating down, so I usually have it open during night driving, and i like to have a big opening to stick my hand up into and what not. I can't tell how big the opening is on this one so I will reserve judgment for later. I also completely understand, being a tall guy, that it was needed to be built this way to make the headroom. I also assume its an automatic?

p.s. door handles do look good =)

Um isnt the bigger picture , is where do I buy a raffle ticket for the car or how did they get a completed car to give away?

Man, I'm torn. I kind of like the look with the lid being on the outside. Can't really explain why, I just do. On the other hand, I would think that the amount of wind force pressing down on it over time would eventually cause some issues. But I'm certainly not a car designer so for all I know the aerodynamics of the car cancel that out. I wasn't planning on getting the sunroof anyway so I guess this doesn't affect me much, but I thought I'd throw in my two pennies anyway.

There are door handles?

AirGoya · 08-13-2008, 03:52 PM

My impala has the same style of sunroof that opens out the top. I thought the same thing, it does look fragile (< That must be french

). But i ALWAYS have it open. My sunroof is constantly being opened and closed and i even have it open on the highways but it works like new still.

I have an impala also with that style sunroof, and never open it. If you look on top of the car when the sunroof is open, you can see the rails it slides on which is ugly as hell. I was thinking about getting a sunroof with my camaro but forget about that now. Also, why does is say 2009 Camaro in the windshield?
