z28 = should be what the SS is now. No, it does not handle like a Z28.
SS = should be the supercharged 427ci monster.

I'd have no problem with that, but the 427 is just a dream.
Being a car for the masses doesn't mean we all want the same car. Some want a luxo cruiser, drag car, track car, or even a super car. Why shouldn't GM capitalize on this by offering more? Most people don't go aftermarket, but want more. In my opinion the L/S and L/T are more option packages as are the 1 & 2 variants, They are not levels like LT verses SS. Now a
V6 base and then a
V6 track pack would be a better idea. Then a
SS, GS-R (think SCCA SS track car),
Z28, &
Convertible (V6 base & SS). This works for the Vette.
Your idea of losing money is not realistic. Profits should increase as some would move up in their purchasing the next level, not spending their money on aftermarket as well as more cars sold.
