Has to do with the 1-piece stamped panel that made it impossible to consider t-tops.

Not really. A lot of the things you like about the Camaro can be attributed to the passion of the 15 diciples.

well still would of been a nice option to have. even a targa top would of been sick

For me, any hole in the roof is asking for trouble somewhere down the road. None of my 3 Camaros had them, and I'm glad.

I owned an 84 Z-28 and 89 IROC-Z with T-tops. No leaks, loved em!

I was told we would never see T-tops again in a vehicle that NHTSA had a lot to do with it because like previously mentioned safety issues.

T-Tops, like anything can have issues and some people had bad luck with them, I for one never had a problem with them and am disappointed that they are not an option with the new Camaro but I guess its time to get rid of the mullets, sleeve-less t-shirts and 8 tracks and move on.

I'd take one in a second. Wonder how it would look with the top removed. I love how the C6 Vette coupe looks with its targa top removed as opposed to the convertible.

I think everyone's comments are somewhat justified, but remember this car was reborn around the '69's lines. T-Tops didn't come into the market until the later generations.

easy way to stop a thread lol.

Just shut up They are not going to build them, if you want the wind in your hair, either order a vert when they come out or open a window.

Another choice is when a company starts doing the T-top convertion then get it.

I believe that there are side curtain airbags located where there would have been any kind of T-Top option for a coupe.

The car would not look right with t-tops I am glad for the sunroof and even happier for the 2011 Convertible

jbgz28 · 08-30-2009, 09:36 PM

I never had leak in either of my cars. Both sat outside. Even through hurricanes. Only water inside comes from blowing sideways. With that being said, I am ok without ttop. They are fun when out, but must be put back in for those afternoon thundershowers.
I love my car the way she is! I do have sunroof. This is my 1st car with sunroof

If this was a fact - damn what do we do for convertibles when they come out in 2011? I guess they will bootleg them across the border of Canada to the USA? You were miss informed. T-tops left in the 90's - Maybe a removable glass top is all we will see.
