The fact that they didn't call the ZL1-1LE a Z/28 when they very easily could have means they are still at least preserving the name.
However, I'm not really sure there is any room left over for a Z/28 in the lineup with this. A pure showroom stock race car like the COPOs is possible. Not sure how much market there would be for that though.
For a street Z/28, in order to go around a track better, it would need to go 1 step further than the already crazy ZL1-1LE on wheels/tires, brakes, and suspension as a bare minimum. And have 600 or so hp while being no more than about 3550 lbs. That is a very tall order. And if the ZL1-1LE is already going to be about 70k, adding all that is going to make for an 80k plus car. Thans an awful lot of money for a Camaro.
I guess they could go the opposite direction & offer something that isn't really seen: an autocross specialist. Use a high output turbo4 (low 300 hp range), give it the ZL1-1LEs handling bits and cut some more weight. Forget the extra cooling and aerodynamics. Price point of maybe 40k. Not sure I like the idea ... but its a thing that could exist & wouldn't really bump up against anything.
