00:08 So the talk of this LA show has been Ford's all new GT500 Mustang, but
00:12 you can't discount the bowtie boys.
00:14 Behind me is the Camaro ZL1 convertible, and it's pretty sweet.
00:19 As with the hardtop Camaro ZL1,
00:21 Chevy's ported over a whole mess of performance modifications.
00:25 There still is the 580 horsepower, 6.2 liter supercharged and
00:29 intercooled V8 engine.
00:31 ZL1 upgrades include Brembo brakes all around, magnetic ride dampeners,
00:36 upgraded suspension geometry, and fancy chassis electronics,
00:40 including performance traction management and our favorite, launch control.
00:43 The big question is though,
00:46 will losing the top affect structural rigidity and how the vehicle handles?
00:51 We don't know right now, but we will soon find out.
00:54 In the next couple of weeks, we'll be driving the hardtop ZL1 Camaro, and
00:57 soon after, the convertible.
00:59 So stay tuned for a full update.
