Default Take your Tops Off????

Trying to settle a little schoolyard debate. T-Top, Convertible, or regular hard top.

Seriously, besides the looks and the power, t-tops are the next best thing about these cars. If its not raining, mine are out all spring, summer and fall.

I like hard tops better because they are lighter,they look better,and they make the car more sturdy.......and they also are more rare.

Ive got a vert and a T-top...like them both, but the vert has really bad cowl shake. Thats the only thing wrong with it. Well I guess the convertible is really my wifes car. so she says.

T-Tops

They are one of the top reasons i got it. You dont loose all the Torsional rigidity but gain lots of open air cruising.. Its a comprimise between hardtop and convertible

TTops all the way. They look sweet, you don't get blasted with too much wind, but it opens the car up great for cruising. I will never own another car again without t-tops; atleast not for a daily driver and cruiser.
