Camaro ZL1: Most Powerful Chevrolet Convertible Ever.

Chevrolet announced the brand's most-powerful convertible ever, the 2013 Camaro ZL1, will debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show late 2012.
Like the coupe, the Camaro ZL1 convertible will be built at the Oshawa Assembly Plant, and features a supercharged 6.2-litre "LSA" engine, SAE-rated at 580 hp and 556 lb/ft of torque.
That's enough to exceed the output of 2+2 convertibles of many performance icons, including:
• 2012 Aston Martin DB9 Volante – 470 hp, 443 lb/ft
• 2012 Mercedes SL63 AMG – 518 hp, 465 lb/ft
• 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S – 530 hp, 516 lb/ft
• 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 – 550 hp, 510 lb/ft

The Camaro ZL1 convertible's power is complemented by advanced powertrain and chassis technologies designed to deliver exceptional performance on the road or track.
In fact, it's the same balance of acceleration, handling and ride quality that enabled a Camaro ZL1 coupe recently to lap the Nürburgring's Nordschleife course in 7:41.27 minutes.
The suspension of the ZL1 convertible uses the third generation of Magnetic Ride.
New, twin-wire/dual-coil dampers at all four corners enable faster response, with damping levels now adjusted up to 1,000 times per second – about one adjustment per inch of vehicle travel at 60 mph – making the system exceptionally responsive to changing driving and road conditions.
The Camaro ZL1 convertible will also offer Performance Traction Management as standard equipment, which is exclusive to General Motors.

I do love convertible cars. They look really awesome. I hope one day I could afford one.
