Excluding the 4th gen anyway, that was a huge step down from the car before it.

Not quite.. biggest step in the wrong direction was 1969 and 1970. They had something in the 69 chassis, but the 1970 turn on it's head just doesn't scream Camaro. The Trans Am ran far and away with the 2nd gen.
1st and 3rd gen really do. What we need to see is the same radical change that came with the 3rd gen. The chassis design, the new body molding techniques found in that rear hatch glass. The emphasis on streamlining as seen with the raked windshield (which was nutso for the time).
4th gen, just a RWD sport coupe. The Trans Am ran with that generation easily.
Just need to look back at what made the 1969 and 1982 Camaros great game changers. Moreso the 1982.
