Hey... where'd they buy a Custom Car Cover for a C6 already!?!?! |haha|

Actually, if accessory makers were smart, they'd be making stuff now to be available ASAP. I wonder if they are allow access to propritary information from Chevy in order to have products ready in time.

Vette(s): 60 with both tops 68 with t-tops
With all the deletions of spy shots the best link for them all is:

There is a lot of speculation on whether the shots are showing t-tops or not. New roof strength standards are coming our way essentially due to the SUV's being over driven. I think they are t-tops and that is fine with me. |smile|

Gotta disagree, that's just cammo:
1. The vette is designed as a vert with all the hydroformed tricks to get an extremely stiff chassis. There is no need for the additional support provided by the TTOPs structure.
2. There is no accomodation made for the storeage of the TTOPs after removal.
3. TTOPs would be perceived as a technological step backwards. 4. Most importantly, no world class car has TTOPS.

To each is his own.

1. What does frame strength have to do with top crush in a rollover?
2. My C3 tops fit in vinyl bags to be placed behind the seats. My Camaro has suspended bags in the back to put it's t-tops in.

Whatever, we shall see soon...just not soon enough.
