You Simply Cannot Have a Bad Day in a Convertible

Whether you're having a great day or a very bad one, face it - Driving in a convertible will make it just that much better. It isn't about getting from point A to point B; it's about experiencing life along the way. With the top down and the wind in your hair (if you have some, unlike me), every trip becomes a special moment. Whether it's a sunny afternoon or a crisp evening, the thrill of open-air driving brings a smile to your face and a sense of freedom that only a convertible can provide. The 2017 Camaro SS Convertible is not just a car; it's an invitation to enjoy wherever you are going.

Overview

The 2017 Camaro SS Convertible in Hyper Blue is a head-turner with its striking aggressive looks and powerful performance. And while it can back up it's good looks with performance, this Camaro SS isn't just about brute strength; it also offers precision handling and a smooth ride, making it as comfortable on a long road trip as it is on a winding mountain road.

Practicality meets innovation with the fully automatic convertible top, which can be operated at speeds of up to 30 mph. This means you can easily put the top up or down while on the go, adapting to changing weather conditions without needing to stop.

Adding to the exhilaration is the NPP Exhaust system, which offers a dual-mode performance exhaust that lets you control the sound of your Camaro. Whether you prefer a quiet cruise or a more aggressive roar, the NPP Exhaust can deliver the perfect soundtrack for your drive. This was a must-have feature for me and I'm glad that I was able to find a car with it. It does not disappoint.

The Camaro SS also features Magnetic Ride Control, a cutting-edge suspension technology that adjusts the damping of the shocks in real-time. This system provides the perfect balance between comfort and performance, adapting to road conditions and driving style in milliseconds to deliver a smooth and controlled ride.

Stopping power is just as impressive as the acceleration, thanks to the high-performance Brembo brakes. These brakes provide exceptional stopping power and fade resistance, giving you confidence whether you're on the track or navigating through daily traffic.

Inside, the Camaro SS Convertible offers a luxurious experience with leather-appointed seating and a driver-focused cockpit. The advanced technology features, including the Chevrolet MyLink system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, keep you connected and entertained on every journey.

One of the standout features of the 2017 Camaro SS Convertible is its Heads Up Display (HUD), which projects essential driving information onto the windshield, keeping your eyes on the road and enhancing your driving experience. This advanced feature ensures you stay informed about your speed, RPM, and other critical data without having to glance down at the instrument cluster.

The automatic transmission gets you to 60 faster than a manual can and it does so with incredibly crisp shifts, but it feels like the weakest link in the entire car. The paddle shifters add a touch of sportiness, allowing you to take control whenever you desire.
