T-Tops anyone?
Does anyone know if Chevrolet will put T-Tops on the new Camaro? Does anyone want T-Tops, if available?

No t-tops on the new Camaro. 5 star safety regulations pretty much means that they can't put t-tops on any cars anymore and GM will not settle for anything below 5 star crash ratings on mass produced cars.

Plus, do you realize how large the glass would have to be on the T-tops in order for it to look correct? Good luck lifting those off.

My 85 Z28 had t-tops. They leaked when i bought it and they leaked when I sold her. I tried every quick fix i could find on the internet. Hell, me and my Dad even used that sealant for fishtanks and nothing.
As much as I loved them, I hated them at the same time. I even declined getting the sunroof with the experiences I had with t-tops. |

I'd say fbodfather is a pretty factual source, I heard this same thing from him in person.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13489 Had some fun making a previously Victory Red Maro' into a Hugger Orange T-Top/non-T-topper......I jokingly refer to it as a Tz28 (as in Tease 28).....since that coveted color isn't available, and T-Tops are unlikely to happen. I also had a love/hate relationship with them on my 78'.....It leaked bad, but LOVED that open air feel, and even just the glass ceiling when in place. Wouldn't trade those memories for anything.....That said, I would not get them if available now. Don't want to spend 25k on new car, just to have roof possibly leak. |

The only T tops near my CAMARO will have T*TS in them.

Considering they are building them in less than 30 days and only have a sunroof for an option I think you can mark it down in the fact column that there won't be T-Tops.....ever......never ever...for the reasons of safety as previously mentioned and cause they would look like
on the 5th gen.

There is not a chance in hell GM is going to offer t-tops, or any other uber expensive options in the future, given the state of the company.
