Good review, Top down please!!! We have a test drive with the 2SS Coupe with sunroof.
With my 1,85 meters to tall (not enough space between head and roof) and the B-Pillar is too wide (very little visibility).
For me two arguments more for the convertible, there are no this broblems. And the open air feeling is incredible.

I have also read that the top would be build from the same company for the Corvette Top.

The couple looks better.

Cool, it is nice to see the Camaro line maturing. Next up ZL1.

[3 SS's]

IMO, there's never been a vert that looks good with the top up...that's why I'd never own one.

That's why this minority is always so critical about the new stuff (convertible, ZL1, etc) coming down the pike.

It's sad really.

It's human nature really. The coupes have had "all eyes on me" for quite a while and now everyone is talking about the vert and ZL1. Fewer people are ogling over their ride and now fawning over the newer model and it makes them lash out. They will discredit the other models and may even go as far as attempting to destroy them. It is called the Tonya Harding condition......

If it carries the Camaro name, it is a sweet ride!

Tonya Harding condition ! How true

And, no, you won't catch me dumping on the Gen6 after having bought a $60K Gen5.

I only worry that GM will be concerned over the putting that much power in a convertible..

[Andro]

Hell No!

[Hemlawk]

"looks better"?

NEGATIVE!

Coupe ftw, I could careless about a vert. Granted, its nice, but I wouldnt buy it.

I'm assuming then meant when inside with the top down verses inside the coupe.

They describe the big stamped quarters on the coupe as a negative thing. It's one of my favorite parts of the car! Love my coupe!!

Ohh yea...I love looking back through the side mirrors at those sexy, sexy hips. And I'm not an a$$ man!

Thanks Mike, I will look around on the Corvette forums and see what I can dig up.
