ZL1 Convertible structure
Anybody know if the ZL1 Convertible structure is the same as the standard SS structure or does it have extra reinforcing for the added HP?

The ZL1 has reinforcement and I believe that they have upped it for the vert.

Instead of v bracing under the engine like on my ss it has x bracing and other things like
filled pillars in the windshield etc etc and more bracing than the ss vert I own. |

Found some info
Structure: All 5th generation Camaro automobiles were designed from the beginning to accommodate a convertible model. The Camaro ZL1 convertible gets additional reinforcement via a tower to tower under-hood brace, reinforced bracing around the transmission, an additional tunnel brace underneath, an X-brace, stiffer cradle, rear V braces, a hydro-formed tube in the A-pillars, reinforcement brackets in the windshield frame, reinforcements in the rockers, and other assorted additional strengthening enhancements.
