I believe a little over 5000 of them had 350's. Total production was over 12k on the Z28.

Also, t-tops were not available with the 350. Your car must be a 305 with F as the eighth digit of the vin.

u know i was thinking about getting upset at the people who believe that there were models with t-tops out there , but i've relized it's alright!

I too thought that there were t-top versions, as i was lied to by many people all over the country who also wanted to believe this. It was only once i read many books and tech articles as well as gm camaro tech guides for mechanics.....and if that wasn't enough had conversations with people during the camaro "legends" tour who were part of the gm team for those years who also stated that they NEVER made any 92-91 z28 350 with t-tops.

there are two obvious things that could happen here, either the car has been converted to a t-top car or you have a 305 engine car that now has a 350.

I too wish they had made these cars with the t-tops but it never happened at least not from chevrolet, there were rumors of special dealer conversions w/ is a great possibility, but there are not any true t-top 350 camaros.

by the way 91-GasGuzlinZ-28, if this is your Best E.T. 15.0@93mph, you either haven't learned how to time the light, or your 350 is 305. A healthy 350 should hit low 14's no problem; otherwise we might as well all bought hondas

don't take this personally 91-GasGuzlinZ-28, i just think it's wrong for these guys to give you misinformed information, if they don't know the real truth they should state that they have heard or might believe, not that they know like Jason E and others!

To Jason E, if your friend truly has one of these call John Moss over here in MI, i'm sure he'd love to have that car since he's never seen one either

One last thing, when has any of you heard someone say "man, i really want one of those 91-92 z28's with the 350 but with a "HARDTOP""; it doesn't happen, if they had t-top's we'd all probably have them.
except for the few diehards of course.

Here's another vote for "your 350 is actually a 305" that time is total **** for a 350...

However on the 350 & ttops debate, various Formula's received the L98, ttops, and crosslace wheels in 1992. Further I've seen at least one 1992 Z28 with 8 as the 8th digit, a 350 with all correct 5.7L emissions tags under the hood, and (drumroll please) lexan ttops. I don't think anyone would go thru the trouble to cut the roof off a ttop car and weld it on a hardtop only to use lexan ttops. Same goes for changing the emissions tags... remove them? yeah, of course, replace them? **** no. My only regret is I don't have pictures of the car to prove it.

Every time i get parts for the car it's for a 350, the t-tops don't look stock and guys with t-tops, do your t-tops have the option of flipping and and snapping in to place so the rear of the t-top is open about 2 inches. I was looking at my friends trans am 305 and his t-tops didn't flip up like mine.

Well ive seen t tops on my friends 86/87? TA
that will flip about 2 inches and allow air like yours do never botherd to check to see if thier aftermarket replacments. whats your vin number you can check your engine type that way. Your 15sec run isnt very impressive but where i live 9 sec is fast for a non nos bbc "high altitude sucks".

Jim,

They did make other years with T-tops/350 combos, I have a 88 IROC with t-tops and a 350, and have seen others. Its just the 91-92 years that everyone argues about. I'm sure some were made but I doubt there are very many running around. Just my .02.

Why can't we have a pic or 2 of your Ttops so we can see what you are talking about. Im still trying to picture what you're describing.
Sorry..but 15.00 for a real 350 is pathetic. Mine ran14.2X's first time our with 2.1 60's. Get to work on the pics!

man, you guys are so full of it , i hate to be like this because i sure don't like to start bad feelings with anyone; but it didn't happen ever in 91-92; "ever" other years, namely the "iroc" and transams' did have them, but not the 91-92 z28's w/350.

you all should be ashamed for trying to fool people if you do have them, and if you were misinformed i'm sorry, that doesn't mean that it's bad; i for one would have loved to have one, but you can't get it............GET OVER IT!!

by the way, isn't lexan glass really lightweight, just a question how much do your t-tops weigh again?

and one more thing, those who claim to have these magical cars....did u buy it from the factory yourself, find me one that did and maybe i'll believe you; but i will bet anyone here $50 bucks that it didn't happen and none of your cars are "GM" stock z28's

post your complete vin on here and prove it! once again, i'm not saying anything bad about any of you, there IS a slim chance that a small dealer in the middle of somewhere could have had something done...but NOT from "gm"

Some people need to lay off the crack pipe... who cares if ttops were or were not available on 91-92 Z28's? is anyone going to lose their life over it? Seriously. Believe what you want people, obviously some people just wont be happy till everyone says "you're right, I'm wrong." and thats obviously not going to happen, so just drop it. If this thread gets anymore hostile posts I will delete it. Facts only, no more opinions.
