As has been stated numerous times, but apparently not fully accepted, the SS-1LE is more DIRECTLY equivalent to a GT 5.0 with Track Pack. BOTH are upgrades to the Base V8 Models.

There are reasons why the 1LE is NOT called a Z28.

If/When a Z28 appears, the BOSS will "know" a true "competitor" has arrived

Yeah that's great and all, but why should our hallowed Z/28 be compared to a car that is no longer in production? If GM waits till Ford is done making the Boss 302 to come out with the Z/28 then what's the point? Maybe so it won't have a competitor and therefore not hurt it's sales? Sure seems like putting their tail between their legs and waiting for their master to leave to start jumping around.
