Inside Lane Drives the Camaro Convertible (Video)

Hey guys, a newbie to the forum here. I found this article from inside lane today (not sure if posted before) about their first impressions on the camaro convertible concept. They also have a video of them driving it.

The interesting part of the article is the engine choices that they mention. I do not know how much truth there is behind their statement, but it would be nice to have a Camaro SS.

"The new production Chevrolet Camaro coupe will go on sale in January '09. The production convertible will follow in October '09. They'll be built on the new Zeta rear-drive architecture, which is a very refined version of the current platform. A V6 version with about 250 hp will be the base offering in both body styles. The LS2 V8, with 400 hp along with the familiar Tremec T-56 six-speed manual, will be the upgrade powertrain. GM insiders tell us there are already special editions planned. One will be a super coupe, perhaps called SS, powered by a 505-hp LS7 V8. Yes, the same engine currently available only in the Z06 Corvette." -Edmunds Inside Lane

RAR, welcome to cz28.com.

Before 50 people jump in here and rip you apart, take some time to browse some of the other posts here.... several members of this forum just drove the convertible at GM's Milford Proving Grounds yesterday.
