Not sure why everyone always jumps on the "SS is watered down" bandwagon all the time when the Z has been watered down just as much.
Not "Zxx", "Z28", there IS a difference.

And even the Z badge in general...I wouldn't call it watered down - it serves a wide purpose. I don't think the SS badge is "watered down" either. A better description, and probably the issue most people take with SS, is that it was disgraced when they plastered "SS" on a car like the Malibu SS of two years ago.....
