The 2010 automatic SS coupe is listed as a shipping weight of 3,780lbs, a convertible would be 4,120lbs putting it into completely different classes. They would just have to add it as a 2011, 2012, or 2013, the engine specs would be identical to the 2010 coupe already in the class guide, they would just need the shipping weight info. They have a 2012 copo convertible in the class guide, but not an ss convertible anywhere.

In 2010 I purchased a BIW Camaro from Chevrolet. I forget who the engineer was that they put me with, but he wanted zero input from me. So, what I got was a combination that is not correct and nobody has built to date. I can tell you for a fact that a zero option Gen 5 Camaro SS is not that heavy. The head CC is also wrong.

I spoke with Chevrolet about convertibles on several occasions and was told flat out that they did not want to add them. The same goes for the 2014-15 Z28 and later Corvettes.

That’s a shame, I have a 2012 convertible and have toyed with the idea of building it into a stocker and running my COPO in superstock, didn’t think it’d be that hard to get it added to the guide since all the engine specs are there already for the coupe, they literally would just have to give them the shipping weight
