Heh heh, yep it's true - Smokey and The Bandit, plus the image of 3rd Gens cruising the Redneck Riviera imprinted on my brain at an impressionable young age, plus Knight Rider - That's why I have a Camaro.

 

In my opinion.....

The 5th gen should stray as far from the smokey and the bandit image as possible (no offense )

However I do want the Camaro to have t-tops but after seeing the car in person, it would really hurt the look of the car. Maybe leave them out until the next gen or incorporate them later. I was one of the biggest supporters of t-tops too, but once you see the car in person, you realize how much they would destroy the look of the car.

Honestly, maybe having rear windows that go down wouldnt be such a bad thing for awhile, since it looked really good with the rears down.

 

Yeah it was a good movie and he went through it with a cowboy hat and a hair piece stapled to his head with the t-tops out but thats not going to sway me. The other thing that gets me is people seem to want to put in B Pillars to save 100lbs then take out most the roof???

BTW what does Knight Rider have to do with T Tops?

 

How did kitt eject people? T-Tops. And after they quit referring to the car as a Trans Am, Michael Knight always referred to it as "My T-Top". The view up through the glass t-tops was also a prominent camera angle.

Anyhow, that's why I want them. I'm not saying it's rational, but the Camaro is my "way back machine" and it's stuck between 1977 and 1989.

 

Yeah, thats cool you like the look. I think if I had used mine more Id be more appreciative of them. I like the look with the rear 1/4 windows rolled down with the front. Having that all power able to put them up at your finger tips makes it even better. My 69 needs help rolling the rear, but the car is almost 40 years old. I would hope there would a more reliable system that wouldnt need help. Mercedees seem to do it. Would be interesting to hear Scotts thoughts.
