I've had two cars with t-tops 96 and 99 and neither ever gave me any probs. However, I rarely use them. It's like "Hey look at how cool I am!" and people just hate you.

Mine are off if it is above 65, chicks love it, i only have ever driven convertibles/targa's/t-tops.
Just fun though, went through the car wash once and it got me SOAKED, so much water sprayed in.

you wont be taking them off if your just going around the corner unless you just bought the damn thing, I only took mine off when I was going for a descent drive, atleast 30-45 minutes or just for a cruise.

Don't have time to read 71 posts, so I just wanted to say
to the first poster who mirrors my feelings.I really prefer a hardtop due to the slightly lighter weight and better chassis integrity. But then again, I'm usually focused on performance and not trying to pimp around.
If you have T-tops and want to drag race the car, you should get subframes before doing so. It is somewhat rare, but I have seen a T-top go flying when a car without subframes launches at the track.
I enjoy having T-tops on ONE of my cars and that is because it is a cruiser/show car and it has never been to the track and probably never will be. Even then I feel T-tops are a hassle pulling them off, storing them, putting them back on. I much prefer my wife's vert if I want some extra air. Pop two latches and push a button... all without leaving the driver's seat.
Other than my red SS, I'd want to have ALL hardtops.

I don't think you guys with t-tops know how to use them. The trick is to park the car in a garage and never have the t-tops in. No hassle, no wasted time, all fun! Mine is sitting in the garage right now - t-tops off, windows down - waiting for the first nice spring day

T-tops are great for throwing out those homemade Molotov cocktails. Ha I mean sunny weather! I love mine and wouldn't have bought the car without it. If it was my DD then maybe I could stand not to have them but ehh idk.
