WR TV: 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible

Today we’re behind the wheel of Chevrolet’s pony car contender. The Camaro received a refresh for the 2014 model year that includes revised front and rear fascia styling, new headlamps and taillamps, and a new SS hood that draws inspiration from the heat extractors first seen on the 2012 Camaro ZL1.

 

Our tester couldn’t be better suited for summer cruising, equipped with a power convertible top, a 426 horsepower 6.2-liter V8, a six-speed manual transmission and a dual mode active exhaust system. Upping the ante even further is the Spring Special Edition options package, which includes 21-inch wheels, the RS appearance package, the rear spoiler from the ZL1 model and a blue leather interior with white accents.
