I was wandering if anyone knew if a stock 305 Camaro with a 5 speed t tops will still twist the chassis by hard cornering or a few burnouts here and there?

 

Well, these cars twist plenty without any of that at all; I doubt that doing those things will make it quit.

 

You wont destroy the car if ft thats what your asking

 

Alright cool. Only reason I asked is that I noticed as of lately my t tops fitting funny they never used to lol. like drivers side is to high and it makes wind noise now

 

Park the car with one wheel higher than the others; like, pull up to your driveway along the curb, and let the RF go up the curb while the other 3 are still in the street.

Then get out and open the right door.

Then come back and YOU tell us whether these cars flex or not.

 

Well I guess what I meant is could I cause permanent damage? I will be getting sfc's to be safe I was just worried cause the t tops seem to fit funny now like the drivers side one is too high where it meets the windshield

 

Sofakingdom is a master of satire and sarcasm and knows his stuff. I get a chuckle and sometimes an LOL reading his posts. Not only do our cars flex, but the T-tops and convertibles flex the most.

Good plan installing SFCs. Also, if your car doesn't have a steering brace (wonder bar), install one. Cheap & easy to do. Will prevent your steering box from tearing itself from the chassis.

 

yes... they flex... drive down the road with your hand resting on the roof at the joint where the t top meets the windshield frame- if you lay a finger on the gap, you will feel the twisting of the car from just driving down a smooth road.. i don't know if they twist enough to cause permanent damage- my car's got a gutless 305 and i don't drive it too hard- but any twist is bad..
