Not really sure at this point.
The chassis & design might not allow it without significant design change or weight addition.
I suppose anything is possible though.

Maybe instead of t-tops they can fab up a targa top for them!

If t-tops can't be done, I sure would like a targa top.

Doesn't look like it's going to happen from the concept and drawings.

Power T-tops would be sick, like opening a sun roof the tops slide back into the headliner and disappear.

it doesnt look like it will come with ttops, but it looks like it could have a targa top. i hope it has something other than a hardtop and vert tho! i dont like the way convertibles look with the top up and i need lots of wind!

I like this idea. I don't know how possible it is though. How long is the roof on the '09's. Will it be long enough to support that. Sunroofs are cool. Especially sunroofs that fold down into the car

If I remember correctly from G10, Scott asked what everyone would think if there was no t-top option. He asked about targa top and sunroofs because some kind of regulation (crash?) may prevent t-top's. He had some name for the regulation but I don't recall it.

Um.. cause its not a 67 or a 69 Camaro. We're not in the 60's, 70's or 80's style F-bods, there is no strength difference in T-tops vs. Hardtop on 4th gens.
