coupe or vert?
 
if you have decided that you are going to buy a new camaro, which will it be? coupe or convertible? why?

not a huge fan of 'verts.. & it may be DD so vert + snow = fail

There are too many practical reasons why the coupe is better than the vert. But from an asthetic point of view, I prefer the looks of the coupe over the vert. I'm sure someone will also chime in about the weight differences....

Coupe with maybe some sort of sunroof option.

The problem with a vert is the Jersey weather. Too cold in the Winter, Spring is too short(PLUS all the POLLEN that will coat your interior YELLOW), the Summer has too many days that will roast your head off during the day and except for a short time in the Fall(BEST season)the amount of times you'll drive around with the top down, you could count on one hand! :mrgreen:

Convertible/T-tops. It wouldn't be a DD, so the weather would have no impact. Only come out on sunny days, so it'd be fine. And I go with the top down every time I head out on the current vert. I've gone with the top down when its 2pm and 92 degrees, and 10 pm and 35 degrees. It's fine.

vert, when i had ttops on my 92 they were off all pretty much all winter ( i got the car in late november lol) with the heat on :)

I already have a fbody vert so if I was to get a new camaro, it will be a hardtop DD.

Neither!!! T-Tops FTW i wish but they arent going to make those again

I like the looks of the concept vert much better than the coupe, but I'm really not generally a fan of verts, so I'm not sure. I'd probably have to see what it looks like with the top up too.

jims69camaro 03-07-2008 03:27 PM

i really want t-tops. i've had t-tops in all of my f-bodies except the '69, and i miss them when i drive it. just something about open sky above you makes the driving experience all that much more pleasurable for me.

I agree. Not sure I want either. Gotta have the T-tops like I got now. Still waiting to see if the car comes out right.

Wait so they are not going to have T-Tops option on the new maro? I couldn’t imagine my car without them. It is simply the best in the summer.

Hardtop all the way. Convertibles, t-tops and sunroofs are just places to leak, allow body flex and let people break into the car. I've been through a few convertibles and they aren't fun in the middle of the summer with the sun beating on you. But the body flex is the real downfall of t-top and conv cars.

Savage_Messiah 03-08-2008 01:52 AM

coupe

1972LT1 03-08-2008 02:15 AM

Coupe. Convertibles have too much body flex,and they leak.

1_Hot_SOM_WS6 03-08-2008 09:47 AM

coupe....they need t-tops. :)

Jersey_TA 03-08-2008 12:53 PM

Coupe for the win(yeah that's right, I spelled it out)

Savage_Messiah 03-08-2008 03:50 PM

screw flex... verts add too much weight

jims69camaro 03-16-2008 12:03 PM

interesting results.

Mike 03-16-2008 12:36 PM

i have no intention of racing and ill have a daily driver for days that the top would need to be up, so ill take a vert

V 03-16-2008 07:58 PM
