Silly question
Never owned a convertible up till now but i know of the rattles and shakes of a camaro.
Anyways does anyone's camaro give a slight vibrate doing 80-85? Nothing bad but its noticeable. Car stays straight driving and thought maybe tires need balance, but figure I'd get some input. |

No vibration at high speeds what so ever on mine.

Agreed, have the balance checked.

We don't have a vibration, get the tires and balance checked

One can induce a mild convertible "cowl shake" going over bumps at speed but I'd agree with the others if your vibration is on a smooth road.

Yep, there should be no shakes at that speed, something needs an adjustment

I had a 1991 Z/28 that was horrible for vibration.

No vibe here. Check tires for balance and chopped tread at outer edges.

Tire balance and roundness first, then shocks if you have high miles. The only rattle I had (which drone me crazy) was with the long plastic piece across the interior of the top that the top unlock handle folds up into. That piece is held in with screws and inserts and when the inserts crack out the plastic rattles. You can put a little pressure on it or pull on it a bit when you hear the rattle to see if it stops. Luckily it’s a $45 part and 20 mins to replace, there is a thread on the site somewhere. Congrats on the new vert!
