2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible

Three well-equipped models – LS, LT and SS – offer sporty, performance-oriented choices for customers. New exterior features include a standard rear spoiler on LS and LT models.
Two 6.2L V-8 engines are offered in the Camaro SS, including the L99 on automatic-equipped vehicles and the LS3 on manual-equipped models. Horsepower for the L99 is 400 (298 kW) at 5,900 rpm and torque is 410 lb.-ft. (556 Nm) at 4,300 rpm.
The LS3 develops 426 horsepower (318 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. (569 Nm). Output on the L99 is lower than the LS3 because of a slightly lower compression ratio (10.4:1 vs. 10.7:1) and design features of the Active Fuel Management system.
Camaro features fully independent front and rear suspensions, with the standard independent using a 4.5-link system that includes a unique, L-shaped upper control arm that attaches to the knuckle at one end and incorporates a ride bushing in the rear.
The new FE4 suspension offers a performance improvement for the Camaro SS coupe. Elements include: Retuned front and rear dampers, new 23mm solid front (23 mm) and rear (24 mm) stabilizer bars, reshaped and positioned outboard of the shock mounts for more effective body control and more precise response and twenty-inch aluminum wheels and P245/45R20 front/P275/40R20 rear tires.
