Every time Chevy does a new high-performance Camaro, someone invariably dismisses it as “just a Camaro,” as if nothing’s changed since the 1980s. Cutting the roof off only doubles down on the perception that it’s not a real sports car, and in the case of the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertible, that couldn’t be any more wrong than dismissing the Camaro out of hand in the first place.
Key Takeaways:
- Every time Chevy does a new high-performance Camaro, someone invariably dismisses it as “just a Camaro,” as if nothing’s changed since the 1980s.
- The only real wonky thing about the whole convertible top is the window switches, and it’s not exclusive to the ZL1 convertible.
- Whether you frame it in terms of performance per dollar or just outright performance, the ZL1 convertible is a standout.
