I say, take a ZL1, swap the LT4 for a LT1 with the C8 LT2 upgrades, offer 10L90 or TR6060, back seat delete, re-tuned eLSD, FEA suspension (inc. rear cradle solid bushings), ZL1 1LE wheel/tire package and keep creature comforts near a 1SS 1LE = Z/28
That car slots right between a SS 1LE and ZL1, offers things significant enough for it to be different/people to go after, but also doesn't off so much new content that it doesn't have a business case. It let's Camaro end on a nice, nostalgic note, too [as things likely transition to a new-age of electric].
1. GM could piggy-back validation of the LT1/LT2 mash-up with some sort of performance truck.
2. The 10L90 and TR6060 supporting software and hardware are basically already in the ZL1 and SS (10L80). Some COPY+PASTE and minor validation (again, which can be relayed to some performance truck).
3. Back seat delete hearkens back to the 5th Gen Z/28 and reduces weight (along with the LT4 delete).
4. eLSD derived off the ZL1 1LE.
5. FEA suspension, bushings and links are derived from the ZL1 1LE (revised springs+damping).
6. ZL1 1LE wheels and tires directly off the ZL1 1LE.
ZL1 front end everyone likes(/aero performance)+SS weight+new LT2 power+DSSV for track rats/tuners+good-looking track wheels/tires+magical eLSD+auto and manual options+Z/28 name ($$)
