While the 2009 Coupe will be available toward 2009 or the first quarter of 09, the convertible will be toward 2010. Both will be powered by the 6L LS2 V8 400 hp engine or later variants of this power plant. I liked the original Camaro over the rest of the pony cars. I've been a fan of the original Z28 version, and later owned a 2001 Z28 for several years, I can honestly say I am not truly impressed with the styling inside or outside of the new models, especially dislike the dashboard with the retro looking awful looking dials.
