Now, here's the coupe with the Targa Top removal.. Now, this thing is great! Hopefully, they'll do the 6th Gen Camaro like this, with a Targa that's easy to remove & store.

Power top didn't come to be until well into the C6. C5 and C6 both had a manual tonneau cover with a small switch that released the panel. But you could do it in seconds. Power was a nice addition though.

As for a targa roof (1 piece) like Corvette, that would be interesting. A single piece roof panel is exempted from the roof strength and side impact standards................at least for now. I think all cars have to meet the side pole impact standards in 2017.
