I'll see what I can do.... Last year we where wearing shorts and T shirts at Christmas.... I'll have to get my Camaro sooner to do a little global warming I guess...
Sounds like you two need to make a deal! Warm weather for a Camaro 'sooner'

of course, neither has any real control over the situation

Split the difference with you. 90 + 35 = 125/2 = 62.5. I'd be good with that. LOL

What ever became of GM's interest in a track pack? This would have great press. I can hear it now:

The only thing that allowed the Mustang GT to compete with the Camaro SS was the Camaro's lack of a track pack, but now all that has changed!
Historically we've had FE2, FE3, FE4 suspension options.... Where IS that FE4 option hiding?

Ok then lets occupy ourselves with this question.

Assuming IF there is to be such a Track Pack or FE4 option what should it include?

So with no Z28 "news", lets focus on the Chassis for a bit.

What do you think?

Good question.... Let's use the 3rd gen 1LE's as a good example. Faster steering ratio, balanced/adjustable set of sway bars to help reduce/eliminate understeer, re-valved dampers and stiffer springs (a bit shorter if possible), 15" rotors up front and wider tires/wheels all 4 corners... For a start

I don't know if GM would be willing to revise bushings, but according to aftermarket suspension guys the rear cradle moves too much.

Bushings are not too hard to change. Sometimes it is as simple as a durometer change. In other cases they can need complete redesigns which is a tool modification or change.

Is your thought the brakes need upgrading from the Brembos?

Is a package similar to the Corvette Z51 enough?
