Agreed.

 

I honestly don't think that t-tops fit the image of this car. If you look at the roofline definitions, it just doesn't seem like t-tops could be made to fit reasonably. Additionally, I don't see it happening if the production version is to be a full hardtop and have quarter windows without the B-pillar (just like the concept). If there is a B-pillar, then I guess anything is possible. However I just don't see it.

But then I'm just an enthusiast like the rest of you, so what do I know?

 

I have a bad feeling that we wont see T-Tops...atleast not right away. I am hoping that I am wrong tho...and if not T-Tops, Targa would be great too..infact I think it would look more appropriate on the 5th gen.

 

Scott put nails in the Targa coffin too.

According to him in addition to the same structural issues as Ttops, targas have the added disadvantage of being larger and heavier. Apparently they're already getting complaints about the C6 targa being too big and heavy, and of course the Camaro targa would be bigger and heavier...

 

THAT'S the black one I have been looking all over for! thanks for posting!!

 

dont expect T tops on the mustang anytime soon, the structural support for the roof is along the rails. That's why companies like CDC make glass roof kits for them.
I expect the camaro is the same way, what with the new safety standards and all

 

The T-tops looks good, IMO, but what about a removable solid roof like the vettes?

 

IMO one removable panel would be too big to store in the trunk. Let alone the possible weight to take off alone.

Gimme TTops.

 

^ It works fine w/ the vettes, right?

 

 

Isn't the roof of the Corvette quite a bit smaller?

 

^I'm not exactly sure.. Don't get me wrong, I would be ALL FOR the t-tops. Also to go w/ the CAMARO theme of things... ..... Camaro = T-tops.

I just don't think it's going to work on this type of body. .. Either that or the Vette style removable roof. For structural reasons.

 

Not sure who's complaining about the weight of the C6 top, but they OBVIOUSLY never owned a C4

My wife loved driving with the T-Tops off of my 92, 95 Z's & 01 SS. She tried pulling the top off my 85 Vette...............once!

Weight is all relative, but I would call a C6 top "light". Targas have come a long way. I don't see weight being an issue for a possible targa. Only issue I could see would be the structural support issue. Not too wild about how the car might look with an extra support/pillar between the front and back seat windows.

Hell, I love tops (targa or "T") too and would DEFINITELY get them if they were an option, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me if it didn't. It wouldn't make me go to a convertible either, unless they have a "hard" vert top (yeah, I know, probably won't happen) that looks like the "regular" coupe roof when up.

 

That T-Top chop on the first pic looks great. Honestly, I'll have a hard time talking myself into an f-body without T-tops. I don't like the way convertibles look with the top up and some of my fondest memories of my '89 Formula are cruising with the T-tops off. That could erase a lot of stress from my day.

 

^ I'm w/ the stress relieving T-Tops. I took a cruise last weekend after sundown. Had the tops off and it was a comfy 80 and ...

It was an ear to ear grin for an hour or so... .. I LOVE them friggin T-Tops SOOO MUCH! Owning my Current Z28 has allways been a dream of mine...
