T-Tops, Targa, or none on the chevy performance coupe

Just wondering for the new "Chevy performance coupe" would you rather have a T-Tops, Targa Top, or non at all?

I wouldn't hold my breath for either t-tops or a targa.......might want to start thinking about a G6 inspired style sunroof.

targa looks cool, but t-tops allow the car to be stiffer. most people don't realize that having a roof can help a car's handling.

Re: T-Tops, Targa, or none on the chevy performance coupe

Give me a hardtop please. They are cheaper and stiffer. I hope GM doesn't do anyting stupid--like the last couple of years on the T/A---t tops were standard equipment. Thats just wrong.

Re: T-Tops, Targa, or none on the chevy performance coupe

I think a Targa-top *option* would be really cool. However, T-tops really were symbolic of Camaros, and since GM actually had a good system of storage for them (in 4th-gens) then I think they should make a return.

As for chassis rigidity without a roof, is the Corvette not supposed to be just as rigid even in a convertible version as it is with a hard-top? I thought the "hydro-formed" rails were supposed to be very solid?

None, I'll have a huge power sunroof or a convertible. Although if it isn't called Camaro, they can put a toilet on top of it for all I care.

Re: T-Tops, Targa, or none on the chevy performance coupe

Since alot of you think it's a good idea for the Camaro to be a Chevy GTO...ask yourself if the GTO has T-Tops.

And for those who think it's a good idea for the Camaro to be a Chevy Mustang... ask yourself if the Mustang has T-Tops.

Targa. Leave the "Burt Reynolds Bar" back in the 1970's where it belongs. Corvette made the transition decades ago, and I don't hear any corvette owners clamoring for T-tops.

No chance of Mustang and Camaro ever being mechanical clones.

I'd like mine without t-tops, but it should still be an option.
