I wouldn't buy one of these unless they had ttops. My first Fbody was a ttop car and I was instantly hooked. Nothing beats a warm day or a cool summer night cruising with the tops off. I have a set of Spohn SFC's welded in so the creaking is at a minimum.

I like verts with the top down best and with the top up last, but for all around I have to go with T-tops.

I bought a vert, and will never go back.

It's almost like owning a motorcycle, during the summer I've had girls just walk up to me and ask if we can go on a cruise, and I have never met them before!

Most definitely T-tops for me. I couldn't live without them.

If I want the darker, more sheltered hardtop feeling, I just put my shades in.

T-Tops. Best of both worlds. Not as structurely sound as a hard top, but at least the car looks complete. I don't like the convertible look on 3rd and 4th Gens.

I like a hardtop, the look, the performance, the rarity. I had A/C so I only had the t-tops out of my car twice in two and a half years - once when I put the sunshades in and once when I took them out after I totaled it.

T-Tops. Nothing else compares. I cant wait till the god damn winter is over. Verts are just too damn ugly with the top up.

Another vote for T-tops. Perfect balance of open air when need and structural rigidity.

I have a hardtop, but wish I had t-tops. But I can live without them, makes my car a bit more unique.

There are only a few colors that 'verts look really good on IMO, and when you get those colors the car looks spectacular with it down and up
