All 3 of my 4th gens have had t-tops; I had a t-top '89 IROC and hardtop '91 Z28.
With that said, I rarely take the tops out. It is a nice novelty, but with how I use my vehicles, I prefer the hardtop. I've only purchased preowned Camaros, so I've taken what I could find; however, I will order my 6th gen as a hardtop even if one is able to choose t-tops/targa top. I figure that if I want to open up the roof then I'd just buy a convertible.

Lt1 offers direct injection which means a higher fuel pressure capable of handling turbo and supercharger upgrades better. I believe it's also a lighter motor and has Vvt. It's been a while since I read the motor specs but a no gas guzzler capable of 500hp from the factory is pretty sweet.

Z/28 and a Z/28R would have made Chevy a boat load of money. It's alot harder to make a car Show and GO.

For sure a sunroof will cost you helmet room. I imagine that a T-top would as well.
Besides, if you soften the character of this Z/28 that far, there isn't enough reason to build the rest of its hardcore track day goodness into it. Norm |

Main thing I love about that 4th gen is the amazing Autozone "racing" seat covers currently saving up for our set of them ourselves
