I still don't know that Chevy has missed the heritage boat. Times change. It seems to me that some people would still rather the car come with manual everything and none of the advancements in performance that the latest technology has allowed many cars to enjoy. I don't thing GM can make a car, like Z28 started out as, now. I could be wrong, though, because Ford released the Boss, so... We'll see how much people like paying more for a car that has less (not performance - content). That doesn't sound like much of a winning formula for sales, and I think that's what it's all about right now.
No you're absolutely right. You can't stop progress. That's why my '10 has a sunroof, Bluetooth, XM Radio and nothing is manual. I love it, I just wish they would of thought about the Z/28's performance package before they put it into another car. That's what's great about the first gen. Z/28. It's the only camaro with the 302 and when you saw those hood strips, you knew what it was. I'm was just looking for a special and rare performance package, but I guess that's not very realistic any more...is it? Sure...selling cars is #1, but bragging rights is important too.
