The Camaro has been reincarnated, and now with the 2011 Camaro Convertible coming to market, its comeback can be considered a success for many enthusiasts who waited years for this to happen.

Not only has the Camaro been able to regain it’s influence as a serious muscle car it contains powertrain engineering that is everything one might expect from a leader in performance like GM.

The car enthusiasts seems to get better news each year as the OEM’s announce newer, more powerful models and the convertible Camaro is like the icing on the cake.

The SS convertible will be equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine making an estimated 426 Horsepower, that’s significant power for a production car. The potential of this to make another 100 HP is going to be a few simple bolt-ons, perhaps even the product of a nice deep exhaust system and some custom programming.

The advantage in offering a convertible model attracts a new segment of buyers who may have sat on the sidelines waiting for this to happen. Perhaps some gung-ho enthusiast paid for a custom job and had the top chopped at a price well above the suggested MSRP starting at $30,000 for the 2011 Camaro convertible.

The look of the new Camaro with the top down brings it to an entirely different level. This look brings out the best of the Camaro, it’s as if they designed it originally without a roof because the car looks incredible without it.

The original comeback captured a classic and gave it elements of new technology and design, but this new Camaro convertible has no need to leverage a history as it stands in a class of its own.
