The reason people are happy enough that the 1LE isn't called a Z/28 is because if they did people would lose their minds and complain it's way too heavy..

The only way GM is going to please the Z crowd is by waiting until the 6th gen that will be smaller, lighter and more nimble. Who knows you may very well see no factory SS model on a 6th gen.
The Z28 was NEVER lighter. We want the Z28 to have more power(LS7) and the 6/4 brakes.
