LOS ANGELES (WWJ) -- GM says the ZL1 Camaro Coupe will have a sticker price of just under $55,000.

The 580 horsepower vehicle is the fastest production Camaro ever, with a top speed of 184 miles per hour, and a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds.

Chevrolet will use the LA Auto Show to unveil the convertible version of the ZL1.

GM says the Camaro ZL1 is available with six options:

• Power sunroof is $900
• Stripe package is $470
• Exposed-weave carbon fiber hood insert is $600
• The suede package, including suede microfiber accents on the steering wheel, shift knob, and shift boot is $500

The Camaro ZL1 Coupe will go on sale in the spring of 2012, as a 2012 model. The Camaro ZL1 Convertible will go on sale in the summer of 2012, as a 2013 model. Pricing for the Camaro ZL1 Convertible will be announced later.
