If the platform is one foot shorter, I can't imagine what is being "cut off". Is it some excess redundant bit of frame? I know that's silly, but I can't imagine in my head what is being "removed" to reduce the length by 1 foot.
If you reduce the platform by 1 ft, you reduce the car by 1 ft. The reduced length would come from shorter front and rear overhangs. There isn't a frame to chop up. The Alpha platform isn't just a modified Zeta with bits and pieces hacked up. If the Camaro changes platforms, it will be a different car. It will be a 6th gen.
