So this "light weight" Camaro didn't really exist.

Good point. The 87,88,89 1LE was more of a lightweight racer, and they could do the same with the 5th gen., but it would be a tough car to sell.
No A/C
Crank windows
No radio

The 1st gen Z/28 was just a great motor and suspension setup... For it's time.
