High performance SS could be
MotorTrend Sept. 2007 Issue, page 156 says:
"We've been watching for this one a long time now, but it should be worth the wait. The Global RWD architecture that underpins Chevy's reborn muscle machine is solid stuff, as will be a variety of V-8 and V-6 powertrains. The coupe arrives in early 2009, the convertible as a 2010 model, and a high-horse SS is expected, too"

It says there that a "high horse SS is expected". To me that means nothing, as they could have been watching blogs and forums like this one and got the popular opinion that the people want a Camaro SS with a crazy amount of power. OR the writer could have talked to a GM rep who said something along the lines of "you can't say that i said this but . . . "

There have been certain models in the past, where the Z28 was top. BUT, those were the model years when there was no SS.
Z28 is purely Camaro, but SS is just an added designation and an improvement IMO...hence the 4th gen's "Z28 SS". I think we could see one of those again. Anything could happen, but I wouldn't count on Z28 being the Top-Dog Camaro. |

I agree with the general distinction between the zeder's and the SS models in general. A Z-- package generally gives a better sports car performance. The SS was more for a muscle car performance. So top hp will typically be for the SS. which leads me to belive that the 'blue devil' corvette with be named SS and not Z07 or stingray

I am still hoping that the Z28 will be the more affordable V-8 option since that is what I plan on getting. |

I just don't think 'SS' has the same feel to it as 'Z28'. |

I can live with a corvette stingray, so long as they put on a stingray hood and a split rear window. THAT would be badass to see one of those on the streets. then to realize it has 650 hp giving it a power to weight close to or better thanan enzo. For 1/5 the price.
