T-tops SS or convertable w/ tannue covers and styling bar?
I am getting an SS in a few weeks. I am debating about T-tops or convertable. What do you guys think? Any one have pics of Ls1 convertable SS's w/ tanue covers(speedster), a styling bar and a bodykit together?

I just bought a one owner 99 SS vert M6 with 70k miles for $10,500. I've had both T-tops and now this vert. With a convertible you just drop the top an go. With T-tops you gotta take em off, stow them away, get them back out and fit them on. Try not to scratch them up or drop them. Don't get me wrong T-tops are great. You just have to put a little more effort into them. You'll feel the wind and get a sun burnt face with both. Convertible has a trunk lid while T's have the big glasss hatchback. Personally I like the trunk lid. I think a toneau cover would look wierd. Best pic I have right now is in my public file if you click on my name. Still trying to figure out how to post pics.

The vert is great with the top down, but looks like crap with the top up. However, if you want to do a lot of cruising with the wind in your hair, etc., especially on the interstates, get a vert.

IMO a Vert Camaro looks like a Sebring with the top down. Although not so much if it's a SS. Some people like that look and that's ok, but I'm to crazy about it. The style bar makes me think of Vanilla Ice rollin' in his 5.0... T-Tops all the way!!!

From a performance stand point, T-tops is better. T-top car weighs less. My vert is 4346 lbs. I can tell a difference in acceleration since I've had both. My vert isn't for beating on tho, more of a cruiser for me anyway. I am thinking about gears tho. I think toneau covers and style bars for camaros look like ass. Light bars and stuff look way better on cobras I must admit. Besides, save the coin and put into performance upgrades.

I don't think there is a single car out there that I would want the vert version over the coupe, except maybe the Aston Martin DB9. But with T-tops you get the best of both worlds, the look of a coupe and the open air of a vert. T-tops all the way!

Opinions will always vary. T-tops catch wind in the back seat and act like a parachute if you ask me. Just ask the ladies what they want to be seen in. My wife likes the vert waaaay better than T-tops.

I had a 94Z t-tops and loved it only thing I didnt like was when I had my t tops off and I picked up high speed I would get a vibration inside. kinda scared me sometimes. Other than that thought it was sexy as hell.

Hey, when I was 23 I knew it all too. Well now I'm 36 and a war later. I think I'll let you know it all cuz I've already seen it all.

camaros dont look good in vert version... and the top bubbles pretty bad going down the road in a vert (looks pretty stupid) vert tops have to be replace (what every 5 years or so) and with a t top if you want quiet... put the tops on... get in a vert and runn down the interstate with the top up... still loud as hell... not to mention the fact you cant ever leave anything nice in a vert or ppl will just slice your top...
t's all the way...

your right i havent owned a vert, but thats because i dont like them...
been around them quite a bit... jeeps (horrid tops but an unsually bad top), vert trans ams... vert stangs (still have to get out of the car because the top wasnt trained right and it creases bad... so you have to get out and manually fold it at some key bends)...
no blind spot when the top is down, but when its up... might as well be looking at a 13 inch tv... not to say that the FRC isnt just as bad, but im not trying to use that point to make a point...
and i really dont think the hassle of removing 2 t tops is really that big of a deal... takes what 15 seconds...
and comming from somone that has a trunk instead of the big ass glass hatch... much rather have the hatch... i have a huge trunk, but i cant get anything in it... and try throwing a couple of subs in an f bod vert... you will never use your trunk again... bud of mine had a drop top ws6 with 2 10's in the trunk and ill totally agree he didnt optomize the space like he could, but you coudl barely get a back pack in the trunk...

I'm 36. I don't need subs anymore. Anyways I respect your opinion about verts. A vert vs T-top feud just sucks. It's like arguing with your brother or something. I've had both and enjoyed them. Just happen to want a vert right now at this stage in my life.
