thank you it is a beautiful ride
i had a chance to go for a ride in a maro today and it is well worth the wait ,it is absolutely perfect
about the vert though ,i know scotty has had some pretty decent info but if there is a delivered camaro vert on the ground before 2012 i will drive up to wisc and take him to dinner

You know the only good thing I see about having to wait on the vert is hopefully they will have all the issues worked out by then like the HUD, brake weights, full ABL etc. I personally think this car looks it's best with the top down! Better than anyother drop top out there! Was not the original concept built as a vert? I thought it had to be reengineered to a coupe to bring it to production. Could be wrong I thought I read that somewhere.

All BS. The convertible will be here 12 months from now.

Everything I have read from reputable sources says that the 'vert is a go. Just a little later than planned.
I'd like to get mine in the spring of 2013.

chevydude26 · 04-30-2009, 10:22 PM

they don't like us vert guys....

they think we are too into ourselves or something

RSPARKS5 · 04-30-2009, 10:42 PM

My money is on CamaroScotty... Plus wouldn't it be cool if the new convertible was also a z-28???????? You never know.....

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 04-30-2009, 10:56 PM

So do you think we on quality hold will get the convertible before the coupe?

Ouch!

OK, so the real deal is no one really knows for sure.

Scotty- Have you received anything directly from GM sources. Has anyone??

Heck I would be happy if they went to a hard top. Not going to happen but I would pay extra...

Z28?? I did not know they confirmed a Z28...

Where is the FBodfather when you need him for rumor control

Zhawk · 05-01-2009, 11:44 AM

Thanks Scotty.
Unless FBodfather tells us differently, I plan on 'keeping the faith' for the vert.

I can't wait to take that pic; 72 Skylark Vert, 90 Vette Vert, 2011 Camaro Vert. Bliss!

rocketman 12 · 05-01-2009, 03:48 PM

The vert IS coming, but I had heard from a different source in the know that it would be longer than what Scotty said. Usually he has pretty solid info, but maybe he's off a little on this one, unless things have changed recently...
