ya im with you guys, the gas cap issue is in the rearview mirror for me. i think id prefer Z28 over SS because GM is using SS so openly (example: Trailblazer SS.... come on now) that its not as special as it used to be. if they went with the Z28 name plate it would be way more awesome, just because the Camaro would be the only one with the nameplate, plus it HAS TO HAVE imo 400+ hp for that Z28. that would kick so much @$$!!!!

GM has pulled back from that position lately. One of their managers (I don't remember who) freely admitted they were using the SS badge a little too easily. The example was the Malibu SS and the non-SC Cobalt SS.
There was supposed to be an Equinox SS, which got bumped down to Equinox Sport. Same thing with the 2.4L non-SC Cobalt.
The HHR SS Turbo and Cobalt SS Turbo are worthy of the badge IMHO. 260hp in a turbo 4-banger is nothing to laugh at.
As for that Trailblazer SS you're thumbing your nose at, it has more power than the last Camaro SS, so I wouldn't be TOO condescending
