I agree with you 100%.

I would like the designations to somewhat reflect the spirit of the way the 1st Gens were classed. I own a 2nd Gen & 4th Gen Z28, previously owned a different 4th Gen Z, 4th Gen SS, and 3rd Gen Z. I'm not going to lose much sleep over it one way or another, as long as they make it.

Re: Horsepower Wars

Horsepower wars should be as important as weight wars, because making a car that makes 1000hp stock is pointless if it weighs 10 tons.

I wouldn't think there's any possibility of that.

GM would be limiting sales if they didn't make a V6 available. GM needs to sell A LOT of Camaros to make it profitable/worthwhile. Not offering a 6 cylinder would decrease the car's market.

With the Mustang having the GT500, I'm thinking GM would almost have to make an more powerful optional V8 motor available for the Camaro. Even if it was for nothing other than bragging rights.

It wouldn't sell the 150K cars a year that Luts says the car would have to be able to be built and to sell...
