Question T-tops or Convertible

i'm planning on buying a fourth gen, but i'm planning to really mod it, would it be better to go for a t-top or convertible or hard top, i know having t-tops or convertible weakens your car but i really want atleast a t-top, would subframe connectors strengthen the car like a hard top or not.

No my RS is a hard top, but i just put a lt1 with a t56, it's funny alot of people don't expect a third gen been that powerfull, the lt1 is stock but i'm saving to do some mods as soon as save up some $$$$$

Re: T-tops or Convertible

t-top cars are lighter, stiffer, and in my opinion the convertable cars are ugly as sin. i dont know about the t-tops being as rigid as a steel roof, but with the connectors it wont matter...

Re: T-tops or Convertible

depends on the model, year, and miles. ive seen 94 z28s with <100K miles go for 3 to 7 thousand. the LS1 z28s and SS models get up above 10K...

Re: T-tops or Convertible

ive seen em last up to 250k, and heard of cars with more. they hold up mechanically very well, and ofcourse i always like to try and buy cars with less than 10k miles...

I will take my ugly as sin gurly car and show either of you run for your money any day of the week!!! Just let me know when your ready to drive to Houston!!!

If you want a Conv. and to mod it out the frame will hold up... You will need sub frame connectors, and a wolf 6 point roll cage for a Conv. I have seen many Conv. Z's in the 9s and have had mine in the 10s with no problems...
