CAMARO ZL1 ILE CONVERTIBLE?

Aside from the structrual stiffness and other limitations I understand why GM doesen't sell a Camaro ZL1 1LE convertible. But if I were to purchase a Camaro ZL1 convertible what parts and changes would I have to make to it to convert it to a ZL1 1LE? I know there are body changes like flares and wings but other than the appearance changes what else is different. Thanks in advance.

1st you would have to head over to the 6th Gen forum because they never made a 5th Gen ZL1 1LE. Best of luck..

The 6th gen ZL1 convertible doesn't have the eLSD (not enough room under the car). So with it being a convertible, not many tracks will allow a convertible to run.

To covert a coupe ZL1 to a 1LE you have to change out the suspension (shocks, struts, bushings, etc), put on the added aero package, get the transmission tune the 1LE has and then the rims and tires.

With the convertible, you'll HAVE to add the eLSD. But you can't because there is no room and without that, you won't have performance track management aka PTM.
