Why would I read a review from a Biased co.

BWProductions · 01-07-2011, 11:54 AM

AMAZING!!! I can't wait to own one!!

KMK454 · 01-07-2011, 11:58 AM

I wonder if the bracing can be added to a coupe for more stiffness...

PeeBee · 01-07-2011, 11:59 AM

I disagree with them... I think the Coupe looks better

Drago77 · 01-07-2011, 12:10 PM

Now to pose my question again, with the added bracings, will this effect after market exhaust systems currently avaliable? Id like to install a particular exhaust which is avaliable now for SS coupes, but am afraid to purchae it and have the bracing interfere. Any input?

cool

c-dub · 01-07-2011, 12:20 PM

I can't stand car and drivers hatred for anything NOT Ford or BMW. either way I also believe the coupe looks better! to each his own though!

You got that right...if that roof leaks my fiancee will demand we trade it back to for her Mustang vert, and I couldn't argue...

Next year the Challenger will probably have one then MT will fall over themselves badmouthing the Camaro vert

I'm with you on that. Don't like it, don't like the brace, and it's heavier even though there's no roof with a few braces. Besides, why would anyone pay more $$$ for less of a car?
Never quite understood the appeal to that whole idea (no roof). But, I guess some people just want to be seen in their cool cars so will pay for it over performance.
Overall, though it looks better than most convertibles (especially overpriced Honda's = BMW's and Mercedes), and the write up is good work.

If only they could do a hard top convertible version that would keep the looks of a coupe...
$$$ indeed but then again, value $$$ factor as well.

c-dub · 01-07-2011, 12:58 PM

Well I drove an 01 Z28 convertible, and it was awesome to just throw the top down and just GO, it's fantastic actually. But it's not something I'm going to miss terribly.

Can you get a tan interior

Axe · 01-07-2011, 01:41 PM

Meh. Ive never understood the whole convertible thing. I just dont like the idea of having a tent for a roof, plus I think they look like crap. Like someone else said, it looks good with the top down, but with it up - cheap. Pass.
