I am just simply NOT a fan of convertibles in a big block sports car.

Very nice review. Looks good, but I am still waiting for my ZL1.

+ 253 lbs and .2 tenth slower in the 1/4 mile. Yet, they say it does everything better than the Coupe.
Top up = not a fan Top down = looks pretty cool. But I still can't get over + 253 lbs in a car that's already a little too heavy to start with. |

I think this car looks great!! I have only seen the orange conv. in person and I have to say that car looks great in that color. I have been waiting for the conv. and couldn't take the wait so I got an ABM coupe, 2ssrs. I cannot wait to get my Anniv. conv!!!

I have a coupe and now I'll have the vert too ! I agree with the top up it is not as good looking as the coupe. But baby with the top down it is damn beautiful ! And that's why I bought it !

Don't Like it? Suggit.

I can't fully agree with this review, as they're painting the vert to be better in EVERY WAY. I agree it looks great top down, but I'm still not in love with it top up. And the coupe's times are an obvious indication of the truth
However, I'm glad to see a positive review. Just wait till they pit it against the vert Stang, Chally, or whatever. Under the bus we'll go- Motor Trend flips on a dime. I can't even take their reviews halfway serious.

7.5 mpg and loving it!

I know I'm bias like the deposit guy. But I love my coupe. A SSR style hard top would have been worth the... weight and wait. I woulda just put a blower on the ol' fat pig =-)

Just my opinion, but I've never cared for the appearance of any vert over a coupe in the same model. Just always looked bad to me, top up and down. I agree that if this had an SSR type roof it might at least look okay with the top up.

Did they really say, "It sounds better"? I laughed when I caught that watching the video the second time.
