We'll believe that Chevy actually sold any manual-transmission Camaro V6 convertibles when we see one, but we gotta tip our cap to Chevy for at least including this specification in the specs this year. That V6 is a screamer, and with the top down, we can imagine it's pretty thrilling.

If "Camaro convertible V6 automatic" has you thinking about what to rent on your next vacation, we're with you. But just like the rival Mustang, the base Camaro convertible has become a genuinely good car — one that any drop-top shopper might want to consider.

There aren't many convertibles left that offer a V8 and a manual transmission, but that's not the Camaro SS convertible's only claim to fame. This Camaro has an excellent chassis underneath, enabling sportscar-grade handling.

Put the top down and let that V8 sing. Sure, a Camaro that starts at $50k might give some shoppers pause, but when you consider that it's a 455-horsepower Camaro with agility to spare, you realize that there aren't many cars like it for the price.
