If you're alluding to my thought process, then I'll say it so there's no confusion. I'm curious as to:

How many people that are in the Z28 camp actually want a heritage Z?
How many people want a higher hp engine and think the Z's the last nameplate possible so you're routing for the Z even if it goes against the heritage?

I'm not upset or irked at anyone. I just want to know who's on the bandwagon and who truly cares for it. This has been a very touchy subject and there's many people just along for the ride. Pardon if I seemed to come across in any way other than how I have just explained.
I'm just not sure people will be able to rationalize it that way.

In fainess I'll use myself as an example

When asked, What should happen to the Z28 in the 5th Gen?

Perfect world: Z28 should be the touring car that holds the heritage of the 1st Gen

Compromise: Model the Z28 after the CTS-V, G8-GXP etc. That way we get the name and the GT500 killer.

Last resort: Make it an option to buy z28 badges just so I can add them to my collection.

Personally what Camaro do you want?

Perfect World: I will buy a GT500 Killer, and I don't care what it's called Zl1,Z28, bubba... whatever.

Compromise: Any Z28 Cus I know it will carry with it the heritage just by virtue of the name.

Last resort: Gladly buy the current SS and love every minute of it.

Those are my honest answers. But, they do show a conflict. When I think of the camaro as a product I tend to lean towards tradition. When it comes to that car I want then I move away from tradition. This is why I think you comment is unfair? (not the right word). IMO we need to address the Z28 on two levels Every ones Camaro and Your Camaro.

Yes... No.....
