The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will make its public debut on this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Camaro Convertible going on sale in February of 2011 with an estimated starting price $30,000.

“To compensate for the reduced structure of an open car, engineers often will make the suspension softer, making the convertible a boulevard cruiser,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “Instead, we took the more difficult, but better path of bolstering structure rather than softening the suspension. We didn’t change a strut, bushing or spring rate from the Camaro coupe.”
