It's a 3rd gen vert, he has plenty of time to turn back around to the right direction.

Cool beans man. I like the 91/92 Z28's the best. I just wish they used the high-rise spoiler on verts from the factory.

Enjoy the new car. Going between 3rd and 4th you appreciate each in a different way. Which is worse for leaks verts or t-tops? Good luck with the car.

I've been stuck in the rain 3 times in the Camaro, one time I didn't even put the passenger side window up all the way by accident and I have had ZERO leaks. Chalk up another win for convertibles over t-tops.

Actually, 3rd gens are rated at a slightly lower coefficient of drag than early 4th gens.

The 3rd Gen Firebird is around .31-.32 on average, with some models as low as .29!! that's nuts.

However, the 3rd gen camaro and 4th gen are the same at .34
