2011 verts..yay or nay? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AGENT-006 · 11-20-2010, 02:15 AM

So im just curious to how everyone feels about the 2011 convertible...do you think the Vert suits the CAMARO or no?..
why or why not?

i personally think the camaro is too much muscle to be a Vert..it jus takes away from..CAMARO.

tmac1granger33 · 11-20-2010, 03:01 AM

i agree. in a few months gonna start seeing a bunch of girly girls in there new camaro vert, with there hair flying in the wind lol

mikeSS · 11-20-2010, 03:04 AM

its just to luxury looking for me

Kahdir · 11-20-2010, 03:34 AM

Not my cup of tea, but I'm glad Chevrolet is offering it.

papabearcamaro · 11-20-2010, 04:40 AM

I personaly am into the horsepower and muscle of the Camaro but to me the convertible leans more towards a luxery/cruising type vehicle.

pincoin · 11-20-2010, 04:48 AM

Awesome car, seems like 1969 again when the conv was offered on all Camaros except Z28.

BUMBLE-B-TUNA · 11-20-2010, 06:24 AM

Doesn't do anything for me.

IROCanSS · 11-20-2010, 06:40 AM

I feel it suits it but not for me. I prefer the look of the coupe but the vert is sexy with the top down! Top up... eh, but hell, most verts (unless its a retractable HT) look crappy up.

I say YAY!

LOL, off topic but our avatars look very similar, like if you black and white yours, it would damn near be mine!

Nice car! I love the h/h stripes and I am glad they are rare.

gmpartsman00 · 11-20-2010, 06:42 AM

I'm not feelin it

classicrockr · 11-20-2010, 06:45 AM

I've never had a vert...but I want one now. To me, this is the perfect car to be cruising in, listening to some awesome music like:

"Life's been good" (Joel Walsh)
"Take it to the limit" (Eagles)
"Africa" (Toto)
"Horse with no name" (America)

On the road, that top down would be awesome with some music like:

"Margaritaville" (Buffet)
"Ventura Highway" (America)
"Highway to hell" (AC/DC)

You get the picture. To me, the vert just stands for a new kind of personal freedom...

wayner · 11-20-2010, 06:59 AM

I like the luxury look of the vert. I call it luxury with an edge.(bad side)
I ordered white to emphasize the luxury and orange interior to emphasize the bad side. 2SS

Jus1dab · 11-20-2010, 07:14 AM

I kool with anything that will increase sales and profits for GM.

Convertibles have always been a part of the muscle car world, FYI if you look the verts have helped the coupes/muscle car from day one., I'm for one that believes that having a vert or coupe as a option is a choice we choose but I also believe no one should down grade a persons choice.

Sorry, but our solders, men & woman fight for our right to choose & the freedom of choice, so let the flaming start.

The all new Convertible !, Welcome to the Fleet !

gHoSt437 · 11-20-2010, 07:18 AM

I usually like convertibles, but it just doesn't look right on the Camaro.

Camaro Freak · 11-20-2010, 07:19 AM

Looks Cool, but not for me.

maxpower5 · 11-20-2010, 07:19 AM

looks odd to me - dont like it.

jhyland87 · 11-20-2010, 07:20 AM

I put no, because typically (even though they cut a lot of the car off), it will either be a heavier car, or handle crappy. Its usually heavier, because they need to add more to the bottom to make sure its just as stable.

I have my car for the handle, feel and speed, I will be taking it to the track soon, being able to take the top of the car off, just isnt worth it to me

midnighter · 11-20-2010, 07:22 AM

I like the way it turned out it's just that one of the main features I like about my hardtop is the choptop roof lines.

Knein · 11-20-2010, 07:28 AM

Looks great with the top down. Top UP is another story... the top looks too long or something. Too bad they didn't offer a version that removes the back seat and has a retractable hard top!

greenisgood · 11-20-2010, 09:00 AM

I really like it, it's on my list for cars to get someday

Me either. Especially when the top is up.

Nutbutt · 11-20-2010, 09:39 AM

Ordered yesterday ! Now my 69 Vert will have company. My 69 ss vert is definitely a muscle car and so is the gen 5. Now the waiting begins again just like last year !

LED Crazy · 11-20-2010, 09:54 AM

If the weather was predictable in Oklahoma I would get a convertible. However it's either too hot or too cold. Not worth it IMO.

camaroitalia · 11-20-2010, 09:59 AM

If I could buy one I still would... If i can keep the coupe first!
