There will continue to be a debate.
First gens, the 302's were underrated and could keep up with 396 big blocks.
2nd gens, the powerful LT-1 350 could outpower the 396(402) big blocks.
The 427 cars were COPO, not SS or Z28.
SS died back in 74, and Z28 kept going on being the best and baddest Camaro ever. Only till SLP stepped up in 96 did the SS become a top model.
With the future car, who knows. Chevy has taken this approach recently of making the top of the line performance and trim being the SS model, for the exception of the Corvette.
My support is behind a Z28. For one reason, and one reason only. I stole this from another board, but its very simple...."Any Chevy can be an SS, but only one car can be a Z28."
In the means to pacifiy both the SS and Z28 community, I belive that SS and Z28 could both share a powerful engine, but they would be the "Odd Couple" the SS can be the more civil higher end Camaro with leather and higher trim, while the Z28 gets bigger brakes, tighter suspension, better tires, etc.
