Looking forward to the Z28 if it happens. My ideas on the Z28.

The Z28 does not need a ton more HP.

450 HP at the crank would be fine
Offer a V6 version too
Add tighter bushings, beefier adjustable sways and links
Lighten it up where possible, but don't go crazy, keep the costs down
Use lightweight 19" wheels and tires, same size all around
Add ZL-1 brakes and front brake scoop
Offer real cloth sport seats
Start with the 1SS/1LT level, offer only 1SS/LT options
Add some unique Z28 graphics, don't go for subtle
Add some race level Z28 parts, work with existing vendors, but offer factory engineering support
Keep the V8 starting price right around a loaded 2SS/RS, $37,500.
Do not make production limited
Start a race series where Mustangs, Camaros, Hyundais, and Challengers can face off
Offer the race to RWD V6 Turbo (limited boost) and V8s

Edit: Chevy is doing this, but a high perf V6 will come later and no mention of a race series (yet).

I am going to mod and enjoy my SS now and not worry about the future.
