As stated, the vents are intended to increase airflow to cool the breaks... now whether or not the breaks actually need help cooling

I just don't want the vents to be fake like they always have been on the Mustang.

So, figured I would get everyone's opinions on this. Would you rather get the coupe or the convertible Camaro? I know it depends on the type of driving, but I am thinking about having a nice cruiser but also being able to take it to the track, so I am in a tough debate on which one to go with - figured your opinions and explanations would be a help

Of course another downside is waiting even longer for the convertible :(

1. Rag tops are harder to maintain
2. Rag tops have more road noise
3. Rag tops aren't as structually stiff
4. I'm in New England
5. Coupes seem more masculine to me.
6. More chance of damage to a ragtop.
7. Rag tops take up space in the trunk. I use my cars for the real world.
8. On top of all the negative, they want to charge me MORE for one.
9. If I want wind in my face, which I often do, the windows and sunroof work great.
10. To me, rag tops look silly with the top up. Coupe never looks silly.

Hahaha...some people just love convertibles, and i used to be one of them. But when i comes to this specific camaro, i'm beginning to lean more towards a coupe. i don't know, i would have to test drive them both before i make my final decision....

Sphinx002 · 05-20-2008, 01:51 PM

Didn't mean to. You asked my opinion, others will have different ones.

The biggest problem I have right now is I have not seen a single photo or graphic with the convertible top up - and camaro_corvette reminded me that I have not found a single convertible with the top up that I like.

It's alright - you reminded me of a couple things I had forgotten about

Has anyone confirmed that the sunroof nixes the "reverse mohawk"?

Here's a Photoshop done by 2xtrbo, not the real deal but a good impression...
