T-top SS or vert?
Hard top. Thats just my opinion. If you plan on turning it into strictly "a toy" one day. Verts aren't made to race. And I've seen the T-tops come right off the car going down the track because of the frame twisting. T-tops are fun though, and they look good.

, that comment just seems like something a ricer would say about us having v8's, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. never realized that their was so many haters of the verts before,lol. I have a convertible and I'm gonna keep it for a long while. The biggest reason I took a 'Vert over a Hardtop/T-top car is because it will always be worth more. I feel these cars of ours ( F-Body 4th gens.) are going to end up as collectables. Why? Because they are good looking cars, very strong runners and they seem to have an attitude about them that other bland people carriers lack. If something should ever happen to this current convertible where it has to be replaced, then it will be replaced wth another convertible. Everyone has an opinion, but if you want to make that opinion known to others, choose the words to express it in a way that won't offend or make you look narrowminded.

I've had a hardtop, a t-top, and a vert.
Imho you should already know if you want a vert. Chances are if you are sitting the fence then it probably isn't for you.
You give up a lot for the ability to drop the top and go, so you have to know you want that to make it worthwhile.
Having said all of that, I'll be driving a convertible as my toy car until the time that I'm rich enough to afford having a dedicated "fast" car to heavily mod, as well.
Really can't describe how nice it is to get off work, drop the top, and wind the car up a few times on the way home.

What did you expect? The thread was about peoples opinion on getting a convert or a t top car, and we let him know what we thought about it. Nobody has a "problem"

seems to me like soome have used this thread to create a rivalry between those stupid ttop owners and vert owners (im just messing arounnddd
). if you want more input ill give ya my 2 cents. i think the camaro is more of a vert car. with the top down, dam shes sexy. with ttops, i just think it looks a bit akward (no offense to anyone driving ttops) i still love the look either way. on the other hand, trans ams look more of a ttop kinda car and look kinda akward as a vert, stilll sexy though haha. so really its personal preference. dont let anyone sway you from vert to ttop becuase they say it will perform better. the right mods are what you need! either way i hope you are happy with your pick!

I had a convertible before my Z, and it was hard to get rid of it for a hardtop car, but I did. There is NOTHING like a sunny day with the top down, you don't even have to go fast it's great to just drive. The hardtop is nice, and is better for a track car, but if what you want is a cruiser/looker/panty dropper then the Vert is what you want.
And as for the top being up, the only time that should happen is when it's raining, so what, 10 days out of the year? not to bad in my book.
