happen to be viewing this 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible on
a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible
that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due

Motors.) The difference is clear: the drop-top (Mustang) GT500
feels wild and untamed, whereas the ZL1 is a complete and
well-sorted package. �€" Automobile Magazine review, January 2013
The Automobile Magazine writer, Jake Holmes, explained: The
difference is immediate as soon as you turn the Camaro's key. The
big V-8 and supercharger take a few seconds to crank, but as soon
as the engine has settled into a loping idle and you're ready to
drive, the ZL1 proves more tractable and user-friendly than the
over-engineered Shelby GT500. The ZL1 clutch and transmission are
as easy-to-finesse as those in any other Camaro, and the ride is
relatively gentle unless you put the adaptive dampers in Sport
mode. The biggest difference comes with regard to structural
rigidity: while the stiffly sprung Ford's body flops and wanders
over broken roads, the ZL1 convertible barely shakes any more than
a coupe. When you do have the opportunity to open the taps and hear
the supercharger whine, the Camaro feels much more exhilarating
than the Mustang. There's a huge surge of torque, a furious bellow
from the exhaust, and acceleration that pins you in your seat. The
Shelby GT500 is just as quick, of course, but it feels so wild and
unruly that you're terrified of being flung into the nearest solid
object. The Camaro ZL1 convertible, by contrast, is surprisingly
composed when you drive quickly. Offered here is a 2013 Chevrolet
Camaro ZL1 in quadruple black-fabric top, interior, exterior body
paint, and wheels, all black. The car's current 17,758 mileage,
fewer than 2,000 miles per-year on average, combined with its
6-speed manual transmission, mesmerizing color combination, and
excellent overall condition. Not to mention the power. The only
hiccup on its Carfax history was caused by a deer's impact six
years ago. The damage-to-the car, not the deer-was professionally
repaired at the time. No sign of the repairs or the damage remains.
The ZL1's exterior black paint retains near-showroom-new condition.
There is a somewhat sinister vibe to the car's presence: only the
gold front and rear bowtie emblems, small Camaro front-fender
badges, and the red-highlighted ZL1 rear emblem break the all-black
look. There are no dings, dents, or other blemishes, including on
the front valance and spoiler. (To best assess the quality of the
paint and trim finishes, be sure to view the close-up photographs
of the car in the accompanying gallery.) In addition to being
black, the power-operated fabric convertible top (with heated rear
window) is also free of imperfections or wear indications. All
lighting lenses are pristine, as is the cabin glass. The
gloss-black-painted, Camaro-embossed, 20-inch, 10-spoke factory
wheels are mounted with GoodYear® 285/35ZR Eagle F1 performance
tires. Through gaps in the wheels, the ZL1-branded black brake
calipers and oversize rotors are visible. Inside, the Camaro's
blackness continues. Red-stitched black-leather seat upholstery
front and rear--with Alcantara® center inserts--is echoed with the
same two materials on the dashboard. Headrests on the high-back
front seats feature ZL1-embroidered logos. Handsome door trim
includes a high-gloss black panel in a stylized design, as well as
stereo speakers. Black cabin carpeting-protected by all-weather
floor trays-is in e
