It is my belief that GM needs to identify with the past (I mean come on; look how similar this car looks to a '69!!!) therefore, in my crazy head, they should pull from tradition a name with identity. We already see an SS looks to be available at launch, and it didn't seem to have the brakes of the latest 'Ring Camaro, so it seems to me, IF there is going to be a higher tier model, it will be Z28, or the like. Although I love the idea of a ZL1 badge, unless this car is a stripped down racer, I think it would be wrong to use that name. I mean come on; the price of that engine option was like greater than the cost of the car itself! I maintain that if there is a second V8 option, with higher performance potential, it will be Z28, or something else. |
And of course SS was never "unique" to the Camaro, the first Chevy SS cars were Impalas back to at least the early '60s. So I would certainly agree, I've never thought of only Camaro when SS was mentioned (I think of Impala, Chevelle, and Nova first, then maybe Camaro), Z/28 no question you are talking about a Camaro.
