The convertible will probably be the car that replaces my HHR. Home Run, GM!

BTW, interior looks great. Retro enough with quality hardware.

There may be more accurate numbers out now but that's the last I heard, and that was a while ago.

- A 3.6L DI VVT V6 engine with a projected 300 hp and manual six-speed transmission is standard on LS and LT models. Choose the available six-speed automatic with TAPshift to achieve an estimated 26 mpg highway1

- A 6.2L V8 with a projected 400 hp with six-speed automatic transmission with TAPshift includes Active Fuel Management technology to achieve 23 mpg highway1

- For the top-of-the-line, the 6.2L V8 with manual six-speed transmission produces a projected 422 hp


Here is a nice PDF of the brochure with all the specs.

all the maybes with this car..
i also hear itll be the z06 engine with either a SC or turbo for the ultimate camaro to be made... but then who knows for sure

and yea i think this may replace my HHR as well...
now if we can know pricing info the the second to best z28

and about the interior? who cares really? its not a luxury suv or a corvette, its the return of a true american muscle car; so if its a lil plain, thats how it is; check out the top of the line gen 1s and u know what im talking about, an interior dash clock, oh yes nothing but the best...

also the one think i didnt like was the front grill.. i know this is supposed to be from the gen 1 .. but i think they could have used a gen 2 or 3 grill.. like the full ones that the z28/ss used to have..those were cool
