I do agree that t-tops make the car much hotter.

I live in the south and it gets hot. I still never used the A/C though. Don't ask me why, I just never do... regardless. I must just have a high tolerance against all types of weather.

When I was 15 my first car was a 1993 Camaro Z28. Started driving the car when I turned 16. The cars A/C did not work at all, nor did the heater. Never cared enough to get it check out at the time. Come to find out, the heater core was clogged and the A/C just needed recharging. Even after it was fixed I still never used it because I was used to not having it.

The car was a black hardtop with cloth interior. I would just tough it out and you eventually get used to it. One time I remember above them all is when I used to mow grass at a local factory. It was around 100 degrees and humid. I worked all day and left my windows up. After I finished the job, I jumped in the car and it was seriously so f'n hot. But I made it

Winters were nearly as bad as the summers though. I did all this for about 4 or 5 years while the car was my only means of transportation.

Now my red car.... either my tolerances are lower now, or the t-tops make that much difference in the heat. I know when I jump in the thing its really hot.

I guess it all boils down to how much you can take. But ... yeah, fbodies are hot!!

 

Its going to be in the mid 90's here all week, me and my michigan blood bake in that ****, and ya, the car gets hot, but my a/c blows ice cold

 

+1 on that no leater or ttops but i live in fl and the car sitting for 8-9 hours baking in the sun like said above you can see and feel a heat wave come out
and my ac dont work

 

The f-body interior... home of the dreaded HBS (hot ***** syndrome)

 

I still have not used A/C in either of my cars. However, I agree it does get mighty hot in the Camaro with t-tops and charcoal leather. When i get out with a gray t-shirt on, it's usually pretty damp lookin' and I got a bad case of "swamp ***".

Pretty gross I know. But that only happens in slow traffic during 4-5pm. Otherwise I drive only at night.

 

i live in upstate NY and if its even remotely warm out its either ttops off and windows down, or a/c on full blast. i couldnt imagine driving my car in the south, or out in the southwest...

 

Black leather + Ttops + Arizona heat here. My alternator died Tuesday and I chanced it and drove the car home on battery. It was a 30 minute drive. The AC quit. The windows wouldn't roll down, and it was about 107 outside. No fan, no ACS, and no breeze translated into an interior temp of probably close to 140 degrees for those 30 minutes....in a long sleeve shirt and work pants. I was drenched when I got to the parts store where the car finally died.

 

HBS is secondary to a swamp *** factor of 12 on a 10 scale.

 

I thought I was the only one with the swamp *** problem..I guess I'm no longer alone.

 

well do you guys have the covers that velcro to the bottom of the t-tops?

I have them and it usually isnt too terribly bad.

 

No, I don't have a set of those, but I would like a set.

 

My car is black, black leather, t-tops........and uh what's AC?
Add the fact that somehow ALL of the engine temp gets in and blows on my legs....

 

I just take my t-tops off and roll the windows down, then drive a little faster

 

Hardtop with a cloth interior

 

I get tickets when i do that when im not speeding im usally already atleast 5 mph over speedlimit so that doesnt work for me

 

With my t-top covers on and my ac on low or next step above it stays nice and comfortable and I'm in Houston. Oh, and I have really dark tint.

 

Its more like Fat Bastard ***... My a/c went out on Monday and we are having a poker run with the club tomorrow so needless to say I am not all that excited. At least its not a DD.

 

i got ttops i just roll both windows down half way plus i live in Florida guess im just used to the heat

 

hot everyday here. AC during the day, night time ttops and windows go down

you can go windows down during the day but u better be prepared for swamp ***, swamp back, swamp leg, swamp arm, swamp gooch. its all good tho because its fun to wipe it on the girlfriend

 

Definitely agree on the heat issue on cars equipped with t-tops and black leather interior on days that get really hot. I use shades for the windshield, and the tops. Also parking the car in an area that is shaded also helps out.

Last week the temps were in the mid to high 90's with the humidity and it was the 1st time this year that I had the AC on. Normally I drive with the windows down during the day, and before dusk (and at night) the tops come off.
