Convertible or T.tops ?
I'm thinking about looking to swap my 92 Z/28 Vert.For either aT.top 90 Iroc or 92 Z/28. I have owned several T.top cars but only three convertibles. My question is and considering where im posting this is probably a crazy question. Which would you choose? To keep the Vert or do the switch to T.tops

If you're at all interested in the value of the car...the convertible will increase in value before the others.

Re: Convertible or T.tops ?
I think the ttop versions of these cars is what people typically think about when you say thirdgen but vert will tend to keep it's value better. I think ttops are nice but they are just a tease. I'm getting rid of my ttop for a vert.

Re: Convertible or T.tops ?
i dunno about the vert guys on here, but a lot of us t-top guys have issues with keeping them leak-free. and as others have said, the verts will be better value-wise as time goes on. stick with the vert!

Re: Convertible or T.tops ?
I have both and will keep both... though my T-Tops are nice.... they are not a vert. but t-tops allow for a little rooflessness, plus they are tinted glass (mostly) which is really nice when it's cold or rainy, you still have the roofless feeling without getting wet.

Re: Convertible or T.tops ?
I have the opportunity to buy a 2000 SS Vert in the next day or so.Which is another reason I need to decide.The SS would be more of a daily drive than my Z since I only drive it on sunny dry day's on the weekends.

I just got a call- 86 Iroc Z28 Camaro t-top car that has been in the family since new. Bad news- deer hit- damaged hood, fender, bumper on the passenger side. Good news- $350 price tag!
I'm a thinking I'm going to hook up the car hauler and go get it, and have it here when hubby gets home!
I think I have an addiction!

Re: Convertible or T.tops ?
Got the vert out over the weekend.Definetly going to keep it.I now realize it would have been a major screw up to let it go for T-Tops.But dont get me wrong i still love T Tops to. Let the sun shine down its time to pop the tops.
