BobLutz: Nothing currently planned.
For people like me who will be purchasing a Camaro, would you recommend holding off a year if we want a Camaro with more performance?
BobLutz: I thought as you did until i drove the 300-hp V6. A wonderfully balanced car with great handling and a superb sound. Buy at least one of those.

Incredible how different people interpret the same statements to mean different things based solely on what they would
like them to mean.
Maybe a rational person would come away with:
1) Better buy the CTS-V and ZR1 if you want one, because they won't be making them for too long and their successors will probably be less powerful.
2) GM is not currently planning on making a supercharged Camaro. (And if the future will not support the CTS-V and ZR1, why would it support a supercharged Camaro?)
3) No need to hold off and wait for a more powerful Camaro, because the 300hp V6 is more than enough according to Bob Lutz (and he didn't even mention the 422hp SS).
