In a front page road test of 6 convertibles, Camaro comes in first "It's a barbarian, but it's our kind of barbarian".

Congrats to us!

I couldn't agree more. I've got a SS convertible. It's great to be able to drop the top and blast around topless

It's a good article--here's a sample of the Z28 review:

"All hands were quite impressed, however, by the Camaro's aggressive willingness on mountain roads. Although there was some kvetching about numb steering, the Z28 was just flat uncatchable in twisty territory. True, some testers felt the Mitsubishi was a little less intimidating in this kind of work, but we eventually agreed that this was because there was a much stronger sense of immediacy with the Camaro. It got down the straight stretches faster, it carried higher cornering speeds, and when the corner exit arrived, it was "Hasta la vista, muchachos!"

Recommended reading, and worth it just to hear Car and Driver trash the Mustang GT!
