Don't know why you'd even order a convertible. It costs more, it's heavier, it's way uglier with the top up than the coupe, and how often can you really enjoy the top down? Just get a sunroof. Best of both worlds.

I will agree with you on all your points except for the sunroof. Sunroofs do not give you even close to the same open air experience as a convertible. For me, being a taller person, they also eat into my headroom in most cases. The best of both worlds is really the removable roof on the Vette.

I also think some don't like the 'exposure' that a convertible gives you with the top down. Everyone can see you and some people don't like that. Personally, I want the convertible but if it's too much of a premium over the coupe, I will just get that.

I never had any bugs in my '12 ZL1. Only issue I had was the packing of the exhaust which wasn't just on MY12.

I agree. I never understood the draw to convertibles at all. I had an '03 Cobra convertible for 6-7 years and only had the top down probably 20 times during my ownership. The deal was too good to pass up at the time.

I just don't get the draw of having the sun roasting you, or those that put the top down in weather colder than 65* in jackets with the windows up running their heaters. Just pure silliness.

oh well.
I read an article when the ZL1 first debuted and posted on here that the eLSD was coupe only, but after people questioned it I never found the article again. I assumed it was incorrect. Strange to see this pop back up.

If you're on a mobile browser, remove the ?dl=0 from the link. That's telling the site to view in app over download the PDF.

By doing so, you'll be presented with an option to download the PDF or install the DropBox app.


Actually, nevermind.. I edited it for you.

Click on this one and hopefully it'll download the PDF for you..

Even when you: click on Continue to View, then in the upper right, click on Download, Direct Download?

What about this link. Does this one work?

I think because reveal literature stated the convertible will receive the same drivetrain as the coupe, so at least I took that to mean that vert would also have eLSD.

"UPDATE: Chevrolet today revealed the 2017 Camaro ZL1 convertible. It offers comparable performance to the coupe model, thanks to the Camaro’s modular and rigid body architecture, which was designed at the outset to support a high-performance convertible. As a result, only a few minor structural differences separate the coupe and convertible models, enabling the coupe’s track-honed chassis and driver control systems to carry over unchanged. The Camaro ZL1 convertible goes on sale in early 2017."
