SS- Same exact philosophy as the 2020 LT1. Put the V8 in the base model. Only make adjustments necessary for safety to handle the increased power/weight. No more jacking up the price by putting in a bunch track/handling features people don't want.

2SS- Optioned out V8 trim

1LE- Take this awful idea, fold it into a paper football and flick that thing off the table for good.

Z28- This is the track-ready version, priced and specced the same as the 1LE, possibly with more powerful V8 than the SS.

No more $65k variants.
The only awful thing about the 1Le is that 82% of the American drivers don't know how to drive one ,excluding the ZLE w/A10 . The 1Le has been one of the most successful programs for 5th and 6th gens pushing the level of control to a track level . Getting rid of it would be stupid , there is a good reason its on all trim levels . The Camaros you describe would be junk and we are well past that stage with Camaros and there is no going back .The level of performance needs to be pushed ahead with the tech available, not pushed away like you want to do .
The only Z28 i would ever want to see would be an AWD Hybrid that would run with the Best of the C8s. We don't need poser packages and stickers on Camaros , there are plenty of them already on the roads .
