Default 4th gen F-Body WITHOUT T-Tops..

Are these really that rare? Having a hell of a time finding one to do a bit of tracking with

I have tried searching, but unfortunately on teh googlez everything that comes up is about ADDING T-Tops to 4th gens

I've never had a T top car but an old friend of mine used to. I'm glad mine is a hard top.

After owning two third gens with leaky ttops I was ecstatic to find a hardtop 4th gen. I do miss the ttops sometimes but then I remind myself I get to sit in a dry seat.

My last 02 SS had T-tops, my current 02 SS is a hard top. I can definately tell a difference in handling! The hard top is more stable.

Owning an F-body with a hardtop is pretty much pointless... the hardtop offers no additional structural support, and the T-tops do not leak. If your T-tops are leaking then your weatherstripping is fucked up. I can't speak for 3rd gens but on 4th gens they did a good job getting the T-tops to fit properly.

spoken by someone who definitely owns a t-top car. I've driven both and can tell a noticeable difference in stiffness from a t-top car to a hardtop car. I currently have a hard top car and can tell you from a performance stand point, I wouldn't have anything but

I have T-tops and they don't leak. But I wish I had a hardtop. I've taking my tops off maybe three times in four years. Just seems a little Joe Dirtish with them off. Just my opinion. Funny thing is my mother-in-law has a 94 LT1 hardtop.
