agreed. They may be better than nothing but they arent special. I personally would for for the T-Tops. If it was a sunroof i probably wouldnt go for it at all. Maybe i should make another poll with sunroof as an option

 

T-tops is my primary choice.
If it came down to Targa or solid roof, I'd pick Targa.
I definitely want something removable.

 

Same here. I don't care for it (prefer hardtop on a performance coupe), but it should still be an option. That was one of the things that seperated it from every other affordable coupe on the market (removable top), and it proved to be a very popular option since almost all the 4th gens i run into have them.

Between Targa and T-top, i prefer targa.

 

Targas are for vettes, t-tops just fit the Camaro (and yes i know that vettes used to have them as well). I would have a very hard decision on my hands if a new Camaro did not come with T-tops. BRING THE T-TOP BACK WITH THE CAMARO. Most of the 4th gen buyewrs opted for that option anyways, why get rid of it?

Sunroofs are crap, I want that open air feeling, without having a convert

 

And, what, 85% of F-Body buyers agreed buy purchasing T-Tops, right?

Its that high because many of us didn't get a choice. '01-'02 T/As couldn't eliminate t-tops, and I couldn't find any '01 Formula within 2000 miles with this combination: manual hardtop. So my '01 is the second Trans Am I bought with t-tops, an option I really didn't want. Just like many people buy loaded cars with a sunroof or other options/packages because they don't want to special order a car. Dealerships drive that 85% number, anything that adds to the MSRP makes them smile.

 

if i have the money to get a camaro, i will be ordering it, unless they have some insane deals on the lot, i want my own car. is a/c still optional, cause i never use it, thats what windows are for

 

It's not like Chevy doesn't know t-tops are popular options....80%+ market penetration.....it's just not something the engineers are giving on this time around.

Chassis flex design targets, door design and other reasons just won't allow it.

 

But if NOBODY wanted them, and nobody was buying them because the dealers ordered them all with T-tops, then ~85% wouldn't have T's. It's because ~85+% of F-body owners do like them that almost all of them came that way anyways.

I'm not going to be surprised if they don't make the 5th-gen with T-tops, but it certainly would be nice if they did!

 

Give me something other than a Vert, cuz' sunroofs are teh lose.

 

I'll buy that for a small percentage... OK, I'll drop the number 3-5% even .

Fact is, T/A's didnt make T-Tops standard till the last few model years, like you said, and if you couldn't find a Formula without T-Tops, you could have asked your dealer to do a dealer trade and get one, or even build the car to your specs.

Add to that the fact that T-Tops were standard on no Camaros, and the T/A "forced" T-Tops numbers shrink even further, so the 3-5% thing is pretty generous.

 

If this is the case, then every single Corvette made from now on should be a hardtop.

 

Corvette has a full frame....

 

Then, maybe Kappa would be a better platform than Zeta, assuming T-Tops were on Chevrolet's list of requirements (which is it apparently is not)

 

Wouldn't hurt my feelings.....but it's way too late for a platform change.

 

I wonder?
