What do you like best? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I know a few folks have had minor & major problems with their car, but lets talk about the positive stuff.

What do you like best about your Vert? For me, its the open air cruiseing, especially in the late evening or at night. I would never consider a fixed roof on a sports car such as the Camaro. Let the sun shine in.....

Less is definitely more on a camaro ! The open air makes this the best car out there !

Scaring your passengers cause they really don't know how fast the car is until they get put back in their seats.

This. I own a V6 and to be honest, despite the 300+ HP, I didn't really expect much out of the thing. I floored it during a test drive with the top down and man was I impressed! Sales guy in the backseat (my buddy was in the passenger) said afterward, "Finally someone who knows how to actually drive this thing!"

The sleek look topless and the feel of the fresh air across my bald head.

woodj · 03-20-2012, 03:18 PM

Makes that poor visibility problem go away real quick. I probably have the top down 90% of the time in this car. If it's cold or raining she stays in the garage.

Does your head not get burnt? I can't go golfing without a hat or I fry. Then my head peals, not pretty.

The coupe guys/gals have no idea what they are missing.
If they think they have permagrin....permagrin x infinity for vert owners
driving a coupe= okay
driving a vert=PRICELESS!!!!!!

modawg2k · 03-20-2012, 06:43 PM

the looks

Kite31 · 03-20-2012, 08:10 PM

I love hearing the engine when I put my foot down.

Chris82xx · 03-20-2012, 08:15 PM

I love getting the looks from other people and the compliments. There are a couple of coupes where I live, but I'm one of the few in the area that has a vert. Even better, when the Mustang owners are drooling.

united1 · 03-20-2012, 09:15 PM

I love everything about my car and no matter how many times I drive it I still feel like a kid , with a big grin on my face .

Drago77 · 03-20-2012, 10:26 PM

Openness....

I've slowly evolved over the years from a fixed sun-roof, to T-Tops to a vert... Love the feeling of the wind/sun/night as I drive!

Problems aside, still love the car!

theragtopguy · 03-20-2012, 10:30 PM

I love the feeling of being at one with the outdoors and nature.....

Love the Boston Acoustics also, singing along with David Gilmour in a loud voice and having people look at me like I'm nuts......Hahahahaha

Baba · 03-21-2012, 07:35 AM

Definitely the look of the 5th Gen. 'vert. Aesthetically, GM knocked it out of the park, just as they did with the Saturn SKY. In additon to the "look" of the 'vert, I really enjoy an early evening or late night drive with the top down. Man, that is awesome.
