We are equal opportunity Camaro collectors. We have all three.

To be honest, T-tops are my least favorite. Either go performance (hardtop) or pimp cruiser (vert). T-tops are a compromise IMO.

I exaggerated when saying the difference was little, IF ANY noticable difference at all.

The difference between t-tops and hardtops is little. I suppose you could differentiate the two from an extensive set of track tests i.e. slalom, skidpad, etc.

Right?

I'll go out on a limb to say there's absolutely NO difference in 0-60 times, 1320 times, and braking times between a hard top and a t-top f-body. Which is ALL I worry about, which is all MOST owners care about.

That's the only reason I said "Who buys a hardtop f-body based on performance?

I bet if Chevy made a Z06 in t-tops, it would sell more than the fixed roof. Like at least 2:1 more. Guys simply enjoy t-tops more overall.

The good thing about Ttops is that they have the great looks of Hardtops but you can still remove the roof. And i realy like that.

Hard top 1985 Trans Am, T-top 1997 Formula. Both badass cars in their own right and both equally enjoyable.

Hardtop. Love that the top is painted same as the body color, makes a great looking coupe. With the way people are chopping up their tops in Ttop conversions I think its gonna be even more rare in the future lol. Cant say I havent on occasion wished I had it during the summer though...
