And a solid lifter cam with a minimum of 8k redline, chambered exhaust, and how about we match the total weight of the '69 Z/28??

So, you expect them to add components to make the car handle better/make more power/run faster (conjecture at this point) and make the car lighter? Well, I guess they can certainly do that, but I doubt you would like the price if they did.

The Z28 will be the heaviest Camaro ever.

Over 4000lbs.

Disclosed by a GM source a while back, and seems logical.

but really z28s are lighter, better suspension, better for road courses and have a smaller/higher reving engine.
SS=Straigh Line Beast
Z28=Road Course beast
