I love the verts... I think the convertible camaro is the nicest looking of the 3rd Gens.

Too bad they only came with the 305 though.

I deffintly disagree I have had more commnets on my 92TA I ever did with my old IROC-Z. I agree convertibles have to bee done right to look good. Some cars just look like the top has been chopped off. But 3rdgens do it nicely. PS I dont think this is ugly:

I like how they look on some cars, and others make them look beat as hell.. it all depends on how teh car is kept.. most of the 3rd gens I've seen on here look nice with rags.. wouldn't trade my t-tops for them tho

I would give up my Hardtop anyday for a Black 1990 IROC convertible 305TPI/5spd. that is my dream car!! and i would basically keep it stock. i am going to do a search and find one someday! when i get the money and out of college!

and that might not mean much to anyone. but i have always said i will never sell my car. and my dad says he wont let me. he loves my car, also. but if we could find the DREAM convertible. then sh*t it would be gone, but i bet he would buy it!! dads are great arent they!!

and MR. IROC-Z your car is soooooo beautiful!

I totally disagree with you. I would sell my RS anyday for a black convertable that I could afford. I love the look of it without the sloping hatch glass. It makes the car look longer I think. But, everyones entitled to their opinion.

Black stock convertible with a 305 and 5-speed? Not a '90 and not for sale, but still worth a look!

3rd gens are one of the best looking cars on the road when the top is down, (and up for that matter)... they look awesome, i would buy one if i found a deal

It's just jealousy, that's all it is. Come on, all the sudden "El_Douche_86" makes a negative post about out ragtops. It's jealousy plain and simple.

3rd gen ragtop camaros are the best looking cars ever made "PERIOD!" Although may be a little bias.

I don't know what flavor crack Douche is smokin but I don't want any. I got lucky and picked up my red 91 TA for less than 6 grand. I had a t-top camaro before that, and I loved the t-tops but you can't beat riding with the top down.
