We want a 2012 ZL1 Camaro Convertible. Screw all the trouble with racing one and needed a roll bar and stuff. We’ll get that handled. Being able to cruise in Chevrolet’s most powerful convertible ever is worth any no top related hassles. Since we have a 1969 Camaro convertible, we can tell you that top down cruising is the best. Only surpassed by top down burnouts. Seriously, who doesn’t like the fine scent of burning rubber? With 580 horsepower, making gobs of tire smoke won’t be a problem, and we’re fairly sure you’ll be able to get rid of your little blue pill prescription.
We knew that Chevrolet was going to offer some big power options when they announced the new Camaro Convertible would be coming out in 2011, but the ZL1 version is a welcome addition. The car is super sexy, kicks ass on all the other “Super” Car convertibles, and costs a fraction as many dollar bills.
I know that some of you will argue that cruising up to your favorite valet equipped restaurant is much “cooler” behind the wheel of an AMG SL63, but quite frankly I don’t give a shit. That car sucks. Dont’ get me wrong it might be sexy inside, it probably hauls ass, and from what I hear it has 80’s and 90’s Mercedes durability. (That’s a good thing. Don’t bitch at me. Mid 2000s they started having issues. Supposedly they have fixed that since getting rid of the Dodge parts. I’m just saying.)
No matter any of that stuff, the majority of people that are impressed by the SL63 because it has a Mercedes emblem up front or because they read about it in MotorTrend, Car and Driver, or Road and Track. They don’t know why it’s good, they just know it is a status symbol.
Let me tell you this. If your 65 year old SL63 driving ass pulls up to Cafe Fu Fu with your 45 year old girlfriend in tow, your golf buddy and his wife might be impressed, but you are still going to have to pop a little blue pill during dinner in order to show her a good time. Pick her up in a new ZL1 Camaro Convertible and she’ll give you an appetizer and dessert sex because, thanks to 580 horses, there will be no pill needed.
The Chevrolet Press Release below is more sedate than my version and has specs and stuff. Read it. I want one.
And Chrysler has better quality after getting rid of the Mercedes parts.
dig the 3rd generation wheels. Maybe they should have called it IROC-Z instead
So what does the GT500 run the Nurinburg ring in (or has it even been tested there)? You just have to love this modern muscle car era.
