We need to be reasonable. Compare previous Z28's to the other Camaros of the same model year.
Very simply put it should be a Camaro version of the Boss, but of course it will be better!
Give us the Z28!
Maybe he meant the new D.I V8 GM says they don't have

500 lbs lighter impossible, no. Improbable, yes. Could dump 500 lbs quick, but it would cost.

Like Number3 reminded us... the original Z/28 (street version) wasn't a stripped down race car. You could get it loaded with just about any option offered other than powertrain.

If you want an SSX, get a BIW, find a salvage car and go to work.

I'd like to see the Leno car produced.... I'd drive that happy little 450 hp 6-banger!
