Over-the-shoulder visibility is much better than the coupe’s with the top up, which helps with keeping an eye on blinds spots. Camaro coupes have wide, thick B-pillars behind the driver and passenger windows that block visibility. One owner jokingly commented, “What windows?” when I asked how much he could see through the coupe’s rear side glass. That intrusive B-pillar doesn’t exist on convertibles. It’s replaced by a pair of uninterrupted windows, including the side windows and small rear quarter windows. As a result, the ‘vert is less claustrophobic than the coupe, and passing is less stressful with more of the outside visible.
Managing Editor Joe Bruzek’s 22 years of automotive experience doesn’t count the lifelong obsession that started as a kid admiring his dad’s 1964 Chevrolet Corvette — and continues to this day. Joe’s been an automotive journalist with Cars.com for 16 years, writing shopper-focused car reviews, news and research content. As Managing Editor, one of his favorite areas of focus is helping shoppers understand electric cars and how to determine whether going electric is right for them. In his free time, Joe maintains a love-hate relationship with his 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that he wishes would fix itself.
