Re: Are we expecting a Z28 any time soon?
A programing and an axle change on a decontented SS with the 1LE.
Wouldn't need to do anything that would need recertifying, and would have a notable change in performance.
But, again, it'd never see the light of day if GM thought it'd simply canibalize SS sales.
Only exception: GM does a name swap like they did when they changed Z28 to IROC-Z, and then again a few years later when they swapped it back. Might even be a good move the last year or 2 to keep intrest up, and get those who bought an '10 or '11 SS to trade.

I dont know how many people would agree with me but I certainly would not "decontent" the car.
I definitely do not see how it would cannibalize SS sales any more than the Boss cannibalized GT sales. Though I think by decontenting the Boss along those lines I think Ford missed a huge opportunity to have their version of the M3.
Price wise I would expect a Z28 to be between SS 1LE and ZL1 which is a pretty good gap.

Performance and handling option. Originally one of the most collectible 3rd gens - 88-92... hard to get initially since dealers didn't know what 1LE meant.
The option has been resurrected for the 5th gen.
