he just didn't understand a track ready car in convertible form when most tracks won't accept convertibles. Whatever, I think he is more concerned with his next pizza delivery.

I can't say that I don't agree with just about everything he said. I could never see the sense in taking the hi powered models of any car and offering a vert. As far as his comment on the quality of the vert, well there is no lack of problem threads on this forum alone about the vert.

He lost me when he said it's just a '13 Camaro with a big engine.

I could believe his reviews if he were critiquing the local Taco Bells.

Well, does anyone have anything to refute what he actually says about the convertible? I know there isnt much meat in the review but I assume it is worse than the coupe due to lack of a hard roof. And I have to continue assuming its worse since there isnt much information being posted in this thread. That being said I think the basis of his review is dead on, there is no reason for a vert ZL1. Maybe its because I just dont like soft top performance cars, yeah I know some of you have vert ZL1s but I dont get them. But while his review is light on facts he's right on the roof looking cheap when folded back. Is there no cover included? I thought even the rental I had awhile ago (V6 in SS badges, never got an explanition on that one) had a tonneau cover.
Anywho, have some of you really never heard Z pronounced Zed? There are people that dont watch Top Gear on this site? |

The convertibles aren't junk. As far as I can tell on these forums, all convertible issues were worked out by 2013. So, no quality issues on my vert! I think of the vert as best of both worlds. I love cruising with the top down, but I also love smacking porsche's off the road (for less money). Honestly, how awesome is that? It's obviously more than a 'camaro with a big engine'. We've got the same suspension technology that is licensed to Ferrari and other great cars. (What is ford's comparable? Finally indep rear susp. wow. seriously.) It's track capable, which means over-engineered, and that over-engineering means quality. You can run the car hard, and it's ready for that. My vert, like all ZL1 verts, are the stiffest camaro convertibles chevy has ever made. Bendy? Has he driven a bendy car? (ANY 80's mustang . . . ) Badging?!? did he think I bought 15k in badging? I find it hilarious that people on this board de-badge and he makes fun of the excessive badging. It's like proof that we're not buying the car for the badges, but rather the inherent bad-ass, over-engineering, focused (and factory backed) mods. Let's be frank, these mods are backed by hundreds of thousands of engines, millions of miles, and engineering prowess than no single mod shop can compare to! Heck, all mod shops put together don't have .1% of the engineering (and engineering statistical data) that GM brings to the table. (dear mod shops, no insult intended. GM has much deeper pockets and makes many, many more units.) What does that mean? If I leave my car stock, that engine and drive train are probably good for 250K miles, even if I drive it hard. Let that sink in for a minute. 580hp. 250k miles. HARD driving. No, give it a full minute. (Has it been a minute? ok, read on . . .) Are we still bashing the quality or technology now? One last thing . . . I have THE MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION CONVERTIBLE CHEVROLET HAS EVERY SOLD. This includes Corvette's, by the way. The next more powerful convertible sells for something like 240K, I believe? A Bentley or something? My car is powerful, solid, fun (did someone say convertible?), reliable, show stopping (standing still), Porsche thumping (off the line) and downright beautiful with it's unique hood, wheels, front end/splitter. Oh, and the moron isn't smart enough to look in the trunk for a boot! Last edited by I call it Vera; 02-10-2014 at 08:25 PM. Reason: boot comment added |
