What a joke: Autofocus Review of 2013 ZL1 Convertible - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I thought I would share this laughably awful YouTube review of the ZL1 Convertible with the group.

Apparently Russell Crowe had a baby with Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons and he grew up to make horrible car reviews on YouTube. As you can see, I added my two cents in my comments, but I thought I would let you guys take a look as well.

At least he ironed his shirt so he looked classy while ripping up and down in a school zone.

Anyone speeding in a school parking lot to do a review has no merit or brain.

31B · 02-09-2014, 12:12 PM

IN Europe and apparently in Canada they pronounce Z as Zed

He must be a Prius driver.

lmao! Don't start with me, MrWray. haha! I'm really sorry our proper pronunciation of the letter "Z" doesn't rhyme with the letter "V" so it fits your cute little song.

Yes, since it derives from the Greek "zeta".

Hmmm... I think you guys are slightly missing the point of my post. lol

Aequitas & Veritas · 02-09-2014, 12:22 PM

BOOOOOOO that guy is an idiot

sabraitis · 02-09-2014, 12:24 PM

Wow... taken from around the corner of where I live. Nice car, bad review. Zed L 1 lol. Yup, that would be Canadian.

Nothing wrong with "boulevard cruising" in a 580 hp, supercharged car. So what's his point?

RaySouth · 02-09-2014, 12:31 PM

While the overall review is mediocre due to an incomplete listing of facts, he does make a valid point. Safety dictates that when you build a convertible into an all purpose cruiser/track car, you should include a functional roll bar, if you are going to give it a "track rating". I personally don't know where you can run a HPDE in a convertible without some form of a rollbar. For this fact the convertible probably doesn't deserve the "track rating", or at least should have a big asterisk next to the rating. Truth in advertising? I felt that review did seem to have a negative flavor from the start, like he was looking down his nose at his audience.

I agree, the review and the deliverer are terrible.

RaySouth · 02-09-2014, 12:37 PM

BTW, I would love to have the convertible for cruising up and down the coast, or getting groceries or whatever excuse I could find to drive it. Beautiful car, IMHO.
