Droptops and Turbos: MT Drives Second Wave of Alpha Camaros


Recommended Posts

And they seem as impressed by the latest arrivals as they were by the ones they awarded COTY:

"Roughly 150 pounds heavier than its coupe counterpart, the Camaro Convertible SS shrugs at the extra weight. Our six-speed manual-equipped tester still roars quickly away from stoplights, the drop top offering the added benefit of some extra sonic thrills from the LT1 V-8. The Camaro Convertible SS should do 0-60 mph in about 4.1 seconds. If you get sick of all the noise (why would you?), the cabin remains impressively quiet for a convertible with the top up."

"As much as I’d like to tell you that the only engine worth considering in the 2016 Camaro is the V-8, truthfully the full Camaro powertrain lineup is solid, and the 2.0-liter turbo is especially compelling. I mean, sure, buy a Camaro SS if you have the means, but there’s no shame in sticking with the base engine here, especially if its instrumented test numbers live up to Chevy’s claims. Did someone say budget ATS Coupe?"

Very solid write up, gotta love that. Sounds like a solid line up that the competition will use to gauge their reaction in their own auto lines. Should do well for GM.

And the hot rumor from camaro6 and GMI is that the ZL1 will be dropping soon. Good times to be a GM fan, fer sure.

For the record, I'm putting the LT4's stated output at 635hp, based on Callaway's slight pullback of claimed hp for the SC610 package.

only 150 lbs increase for the convertible?  That is fantastic!  That's a platform built from scratch to be both coupe and convertible right there.

 

Bet we see a Cadillac as well as Buick Convertible! :D
