That is what I posted. This guy was in charge of making the dyes and tooling for the coupe and convertible. They are in the process right now of tooling the convertible. Expect to see the pre production ones on the road by early summer 2009. He did say ordering would be happening just like the coupe only a year later with a March - May release to the dealers as a 2011 model.
Good news for me at least as I am getting a 1SS/RS Inferno Orange Vert.

t-tops arent coming, ever... a vert makes more sense, t-tops just dont fit with this car...

Actually he was the engineer in charge of stamping. They had to figure out how to make the new hood with the LS9 supercharged version under the hood. Also had to figure out how to get the ground effects, spoiler, etc, new facia on it.
I guess the hood was like the old Stinger hoods of the 60's to fit the supercharger. He may have been blowing smoke but the way he discussed it didn't seem so to me. He really did not have to think about what he was saying.

I've talked to several BS artists who could stare you in the face and string together a story that, while awfully entertaining, contained no more than a fraction of truth, and they could do it all right on the spot without hesitation.

Back in June when the details of the Camaro were just coming out, Motor Tread report that the Z28 may come out in 2012 with the supercharger from the vette. Now if they shelved it until later, I can buy that. I was hearing that the Z28 was going to be the "TOP OF THE LINE" just like the ZR1 vette. So we may not see it for sometime.
As for the T-tops, that did not show up until the 2nd gen. So I am not surprise that we will not see it on this model. Now, if GM changes the body type in the future....never say never.
