    2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible:

  • 8/8/2019 Texas Drive Magazine Dec 6-19,2010

    20/24

    Te launch o the new convertible opensCamaro design and per ormance to a new set o potential customers, said Chris Perry, vice presi-dent o Chevrolet marketing. Te 21st century revival o Camaro is tremendously popular, so itsa natural to now expand and elevate the productrange in new directions.

    Te convertible will be o ered in similarmodel con gurations as the Camaro coupe. Testandard model will have a 312-horsepower directinjection V-6 engine delivering 29 mpg highway.Te SS model will eature the 6.2L V-8 engineproducing 426 horsepower. A six-speed manualtransmission will be standard, with an optionalsix-speed automatic.

    Camaro seized leadership in U.S. sales inits segment with the original coupe model thatlaunched in spring 2009 as a 2010 model. Teright to purchase one o the rst convertibles was recently sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction

    or $205,000, with all proceeds donated to char-ity. Te 2011 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro

    convertibles, a group o 100 exclusive cars withcustom-designed elements and priced at $75,000each, sold out in only three minutes.

    Te Camaro convertible delivers great re ne-ment, along with uncompromising, coupe-likedriving dynamics. Its enhanced body structurehelps prevent cowl or steering wheel shake, ora strong, con dent eel in all driving conditions.Te top has a smooth, tailored t, with acoustical

    oam in the headliner that helps deliver a quietride with the top up.

    Camaro convertible is o ered in 1L /2L(V-6) and 1SS/2SS (V-8) trim packages andpriced rom $30,000 MSRP (including $850destination). Nine production exterior colors

    are available, with tops o ered in black or tan.Rear parking assist is standard on all convertiblemodels.

    Strong Structure

    Te Camaros architecture was designed toaccommodate a convertible model, which means

    customers enjoy the un o top-down cruising with coupe-like driving dynamics. Four stra-tegic rein orcements enhance the already-sti body structure to eliminate common con-vertible maladies o cowl and steering wheelshake.

    Our goal in development was to make theconvertible match the coupe as closely as pos-

    sible in ride quality, handling and overall per-ormance, said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chie engineer.

    A telling example o the Camaro convert-ibles strength is evidenced in its suspensiontuning speci cally, the lack o changes be-tween the convertible and coupe models.

    o compensate or the reduced structureo an open car, engineers o ten will make thesuspension so ter, making the convertible aboulevard cruiser, said Oppenheiser. Instead, we took the more di cult, but better path o bolstering structure rather than so tening thesuspension. We didnt change a strut, bushingor spring rate rom the Camaro coupe.

    Te result is a convertible that preservesnearly all the acceleration, road-holdingand per ormance capabilities o the Camarocoupe.

    Additional sa ety structural rein orcementsare designed to improve noise and vibrationcharacteristics, while also contributing to theelimination o cowl/steering wheel shake. Tey include a hydro romed tube in the A-pillars, aninner rein orcement bracket in the windshield

    header, a rein orced ront hinge pillar and rein-orcements inside the rockers.Te structural changes to the Camaro

    convertible body give it superior bending andtorsional sti ness, and better torsional sti nessthan the BMW 3-Series convertible.

    exceptional top refinement

    At the outset, designers and engineerssought to eliminate the common appearanceo convertible top support ribs and they suc-ceeded, using composite knuckles rather than

    aluminum ones, as well as extending the top ma-terial below the belt line and revising the topsstitch lines. Te result is a top that has a smooth,taut and care ully tailored appearance that alsoretains the sleek roofine o the coupe.

    Te power- olding top retracts in about 20seconds. It is built in partnership with the samemanu acturer as the Corvette convertible top,and operates in a similar manner. Tat means it

    olds in a simple Z pattern and latches with asingle, convenient handle located at the center o the windshield header. Other convertible modelsin this segment still o er convertible tops with

    dual latches, orcing drivers into two-hand op-erations reaching across the car.Once the latch is turned to the open position,

    the push o a single button lowers the windowsand activates the top. Te car doesnt have to beparked or the top to be activated, allowing orspur-o -the-moment lowering while stopped ata stoplight.

    Te top is made o thick, durable canvas andit eatures acoustical headliner material that pro-vides a quiet, coupe-like ride when the top is up.It also incorporates a glass rear window and rear window de ogger.

    A olding, one-piece tonneau cover is stan-dard on 2L and 2SS models and optional on1L /1SS. It covers the olded top or a nishedappearance. An accessory windscreen is available

    rom Chevrolet dealers. It installs behind theront seats to limit wind bu eting when driving

    with the top down.Because the combined OnStar/XM/AM-FM

    radio antenna is mounted on the roo o coupemodels, it had to be relocated on the convertible.On RS-equipped L models and SS models, which include a rear spoiler, a small shark nOnStar/XM antenna is mounted on the deck lid, while the AM/FM radio antenna is hidden

    inside the rear spoiler. Tis patent-pending de-sign creates a sleeker appearance. For L models without a rear spoiler (without the RS package),the combined antenna is located in the center o the deck lid.

    Te relocation o the trunk lock cylinderalso cleans up the Camaro convertibles appear-ance, moving rom the panel between the tail-lamps to a discreet area between the rear seatback cushion and drivers side interior panel.Te change retains ull, lockable access to thetrunk, with the keyless remote ob also o eringeasy trunk access.

    Finally, the subwoo er either an eight-inchunit with the base sound system or a 10-inchsubwoo er with the available Boston Acousticssystem is relocated rom the trunk to an areabetween the rear seat cushions.

    performance

    Camaro L convertible models are o ered with a 3.6L direct injection (DI) V-6 that de-

    livers more power through increased e ciency, while maintaining uel economy and loweringemissions including a 25-percent drop incold-start hydrocarbon emissions. It is rated at312 horsepower (232 kW) and 278 lb.- t. o torque (370 Nm). Peak uel economy with thedirect injection V-6 is 29 miles per gallon onthe highway.

    wo 6.2L V-8 engines are o ered in CamaroSS models, including the L99 on automatic-equipped vehicles and the LS3 on manual-equipped models. Both engines are derived romthe LS3 that debuted on the 2008 Corvette, withan aluminum block (with cast iron cylinder lin-

    ers) and aluminum cylinder heads. Horsepoweror the L99 is 400 (298 kW) and torque is 410lb.- t. (556 Nm). Te LS3 develops 426 horse-power (318 kW) and 420 lb.- t. (569 Nm).

    Te L99 eatures the uel-saving Active FuelManagement System, which saves uel by shut-ting down hal o the engines cylinders duringcertain light-load driving conditions, such ashighway cruising.

    All Camaro models can be equipped with ei-ther a six-speed manual or six-speed automatictransmission. Te Aisin AY6 six-speed manualis standard with the 3.6L engine, and a Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed automatic is optional. A

    remec R 6060 six-speed manual is standardon the SS, and the Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speedautomatic is optional.
