I want a Z06 version of the Camaro. I think that car should be called Z28.

Re: A twist on the Z28 vs SS debate
All SS's are Z28's. All z28's are not SS's.
Hasn't it always been this way? Don't try to rewrite history. You're just going to confuse people.
"How come back then, the SS was the superior car, but now it's rubbish? Just a fillter inbetween the Z28?"
- "Son, it's because those Z28 fanboys on CamaroZ28.com (RIP) wouldn't shut up about it. They boycotted the Camaro until GM gave in. That's why GM reported record profits of the camaro in 2012"
And I've "owned" an IROC-Z and a 2nd/4th gen SS

Maybe the question is:
which does the public feel should be top dog?
I think everyone knows what SS indicates. Of course alot of trucks sport a z71 tag on them, so there is recongnition for the Z badge.
The only conclusion I can come to is: zSS or S/28

The 1LE could carry the z28 package further; to what most people would not be able to tolerate, to appease the really hardcore fans, or the guys who might actually race the cars.
