2011 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe, Camaro SS ans Camaro Convertible Reviews
How you feel behind the wheel is everything in a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, and driving a convertible is no different. That’s why Chevy retooled the body and chassis, adding four types of braces from a strut tower-to-tower to a pair of underbody V braces. Rigidity goes up. Exhilaration goes way up, too, as the performance of the convertible practically mimics that of the Coupe. But our engineers didn’t stop there. Noise and vibration, long considered unwelcome passengers, go way down, thanks to even more reinforcements in key areas like the A-pillar and windshield header.

The precise handling dynamics of Camaro were developed around the world from test tracks in Australia and Germany to the frozen terrain of Sweden to roads and racetracks in the U.S. Many professional drivers provided constructive input. Camaro SS was also tested on what many consider the toughest racetrack in the world: the 12.9-mile Nordschleife course at Nürburgring. The result is a chassis tuned to stick in turns and handle transitional situations beautifully. A 4.5-link independent rear suspension with coil springs over shocks allows the rear wheels to react independently to road input.
