I do like the Pontiac G8 though so I'll give them that one. And the sales for the 5th Gen Camaro in all flavours shows that a great looking car will sell well. Which of course it did.... |

LOL, yeah I know, right? I tend to change convertibles about every 2 or 3 years - I traded it in for an '06 Mustang GT vert because I really liked the new retro body style. I also had an old 1970 Mercury Cougar vert (never should have sold it!), a Toyota MR2 Spyder, and a Jeep Wrangler soft top during the intervening years before ending up with my '14 Camaro. My 323 hp V6 Camaro is obviously much slower than my old Terminator vert but it feels about as fast as my '97 Z28 did with 285 hp. Of the 10 convertibles I've owned, I'd say my '14 Camaro is overall my absolute favorite one. Main reason I got the 5th gen Camaro is I LOVE the retro styling - I'm getting older now so I don't really mind having the V6, plus I've gotten into sport bikes now so pretty much all cars feel slow to me at this point

I test drove the '04 and eventually the '05 also - I really loved the big power jump with the LS2 for '05 but I still didn't care for the looks of it although I suppose it was a bit better than the '04 - however the lack of a vert or sunroof is what really killed it for me - I gots to have the wind in my hair and sunshine on my face - LOL

I had a convertible Corvette and it didn't do much for me. I prefer a hard top. I don't miss a sunroof or t-tops either with the Goat. I think the Goat is the single best sports car I've had. I've had many. Until the 1LE I want? :P

Thanks...and No I don't go through car washes. I hand wash every week. The vinyl wouldn't survive in today's car washes. I like hand washing personally. I know every nook and cranny of the car and attack any issues in the paint when I see it. These cars are notorious for bad paint jobs. Very thin from factory. Vinyl not hard to upkeep. I do nothing special to it and it still looks as good as the day I put it on. I live in FLorida too.

I hand washed my Corvette, only because its a convertible. But I just ran all my other cars thru the car wash.

LOL - I just noticed you're in Minnesota - yeah I can see how a vert might not be the optimum choice up there - probably about as useful as a box of condoms at a convent

Its fine in the summer, but all my cars got stored for the winter, which sucks. I was born in the wrong state. :(

Well speaking as a Canuck we only have Summer & Winter for seasons. On the plus side it does make you appreciate your car when you have to wait to get it back out but it still sucks at times too
