Chevrolet Camaro Convertible at Goodwood

Goodwood's Moving Motor Show gave members of the public a special chance to tackle the famous hillclimb in a variety of new cars.Not wanting to miss out on the action, Autoblog managed to grab the keys to a new Chevrolet Camaro Convertible for a very brief blast – and what a ride it was.

Featuring a monstrous 6.2-litre V8 engine pumping out a whopping 426bhp, the Camaro can hit 60mph in a frankly very believable 4.9 seconds.But what's really special about this American brute is the fact you can enjoy top-down motoring – letting you enjoy the thunderous sound of that incredible engine.Acceleration is astounding and, as you can hear on our video in between our school boy laughs, the sound track is glorious.

Behind the wheel, the Chevy does feel like a big American car. That sounds obvious, but the heavy steering is instantly apparent and when you put your foot on the brakes for the first time, the bulk really makes itself known. The pedal has a fair bit of travel and needs a hefty prod to get any action – the first corner of our Goodwood test certainly put a lump in our throats, that's for sure.

Chevrolet says it has worked hard on increasing structural rigidity in the convertible, something that's often lost when roofs are lopped off cars. We're inclined to agree with the maker that it's just as much fun to drive as the hard top. Having tried one in the States on holiday, I can confirm the lack of metal above your head hasn't seen the Camaro lose any character.

2011 Hennessey Chevrolet Camaro HPE700

The 2011 HPE700 gets its additional power from revised boost levels and a more robust fuel system, delivering 755 bhp and 763 lb-ft of torque. This 30 horsepower increase over 2010 will also help move the convertible’s extra weight, while the large 15 inch brakes from last year remain to bring it back to a stop quickly.

As the Camaro convertible arrives in showrooms in the spring of 2011, the 6-speed manual SS model will become available alongside its hardtop brethren to become the basis for the HPE700 LS9 Camaro transformation.

HPE founder and president, John Hennessey said, “We have already sold a several of our 2011 HPE700’s in hardtop form, increasing the potential for the convertible LS9 Camaro to become an even rarer option than before”. “I expect that we will sell all 24 units just as we did in 2010. However this time we will probably sell-out even sooner as the convertible option will certainly be attractive – especially with 755 horsepower”.

In addition to the upgraded LS9 engine, the HPE700 also includes an adjustable coilover suspension, larger sway bars, HPE lightweight wheels, larger 15-inch brakes with 6-piston front calipers, stainless steel long tube headers, painted hockey stripe, Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, CarbonAero™ carbon fiber body kit and more to complete the car’s distinct look and performance characteristics.

2011 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM by ASC

ASC has worked many times with General Motors in the past helping out in the creation and design development of cars like the 1987 Buick GNX, various Chevy SS models such as the HHR SS and Malibu SS, as well as the Cadillac STS-V and XLR-V sport cars just to mention a few.

The design and development firm's proposal for a Camaro-based Pontiac Trans Am is a fairly simply conversion that could easily lead to a custom-order production model. The changes include a new front fascia complete with unique head lights, twin-kidney grill inserts and restyled apron, a rear-facing hood shaker, new side skirts and alloy wheel designs plus rear-fender air vents. At the back the design proposes a new rear fascia with distinctive tail lights, boot spoiler and a specific apron housing new exhaust pipes.

While we don't have any photos of the interior, we gather that ASC would most likely limit the changes to the trim and seat options along with a revised instrument panel.

There's no information ASC's actual intentions on the car, but if you're really interested, you can send a mail to dave.byron (at) ascglobal.com for more information.
