coupe/hardtop is my choice. due to winter season and driving, convertible is not prefered. but i shure remember a short drive in a 96 trans am ws6.. open air and the exhaust sounds, summer warmth.. it was very nice... ok back to earth. coupe. i won't change my mind.

Always prefer ragtops, and have had many. BUT...Not the current Camaro vert. Way too many problems. And GM has sat around leaving it's owners swinging in the breeze.

Never. Not in all my years of driving verts.

I don't like the ground effects, either.

Otherwise, I'd vote vert. I won't give up my ABM for one, though.


As for not wanting a vert in Texas, I don't get that, either! I don't put the top down on my Vette vert in the heat of the day during the summer, but mornings and evenings, o hek ye!

I guess it only happens to us guys with hard tops. There's always bird droppings on my roof.

Not always. The other day washed car, did all the detailing. Got in drove off, got home and big nasty one right above my head. However, it got there if no roof would have been on my crown.

Hard top all the way. I do a lot of spirited mountain driving in the Sierras and just feel better knowing my head is covered. Besides, with the top down all those interior bits are subjected to wear and tear from the elements (SUN).

In defense of the verts (not like they need any lol)...driving with the top down is always "spirited" driving!...lol...Love to have a vert one day, but in my mind one bad day (rain, something flying out, something stolen from inside) would ruin the fun...Definitely would have to be, for me, strictly pleasure cruises on fair weather days...
