Its a fine fine dance GM must negotiate to pull this off. There is a reason Camaro has come and gone...and is now back again. Its not as easy when you have a car looming performance wise right above the head of a similar with the same performance.
No matter how you slice it up, GM could never make the Camaro the equal or near equal of the Vette, while Ford have no such qualms. The GT will always be a step below a GT500, but not in such of a way to that the GT or GT500 sales would be hurt.

i agree that it would have to be a 'fine dance' but if it was done right its possible. Making it a limited edition makes it even more likely.
As for the handling... yes the GT>SS but only with the Track Package. Which btw isn't availible yet..
The z28 (if they build it) should have some sort of weight reduction, that alone combined with further suspension upgrades should be enough to trump the GT500. The 480 was a rough estimate, say 500 to be safe.
