I have a hard top and a t-top car. I like both... T-tops are great for when it's sunny outside, but I am not real thrilled about dealing with them when they leak. Hardtops are the lowest maintenance, I only miss having t-tops when it's sunny and warm, which up here isn't all that often.

IMO T-tops and F bods are like peanut butter and jelley... virtually inseparable. I've owned a few F bods and I never considered any other roof option. Nothing beats the overhead canopy fighter jet feeling & it's cool to take them out once & a while.

I agree with hammerhead, I frickin love my t-tops. I have a 1998 Camaro RS hard top (got bored of real quick). A 2001 Camaro Z28 Convertable, got stolen cause someone slashed open my convertable top and got in and when I got it back It was stirpped to nothing. Now I have what is in my sig with T-tops and they are a blast to drive in with em off. Plus the added bonus is CHICKS LOVE EM!!!

T-tops, best of both worlds!!!!

But I think I like C6 top even more (not sure if the C5s have it) thats like one big panel instead of 2, and theres no beam in the middle. Not sure what it's called though.

Some (most) C5's have it, it is called a targa top. Targa tops look sweet on vettes, and some other cars have them, too.

Love vert's and t-tops...got one of each.

Would never go back to a fixed top. That's the only reason I wouldn't take a Z06. no vert option.

Someone on here turned their t-tops in a Targa. Last I knew it wasn't finished, but looked pretty sweet!

I voted hardtop partly because i own one....
[sarcasm]
But I have to say that T-tops are the best way to air out your mullet.... looks great with your locks just flying in the breeze and the front just stays in place cause it's so business-like and short...... Nothing like t-tops for that..... helps also when you get out the car and you don't want your fanny pack to hit the steering wheel and you've got more room for your head to clear... [/sarcasm]

Nah i'm not jealous in fact although I think t-tops are cool in a way it's the only thing my mustang buddies always talk about of why they think f-bodies are gay..... It might be because the t-top idea was out when dudes with fat gold chains and mullets were riding around in their IROC's with their t-tops off and we get lumped into that group as well cause our cars can still be had with t-tops.... But then again they're riding around in mustangs so don't know what they think is funny... they need to look in the mirror...

besides my car is getting setup to run 8's... don't know if I'd want my t-tops with a setup like that.... hell if the car flipped those things would freakin explode in my face.... for a drag car i'll take my hardtop...
