Honestly, it should be a development of the 5th gen but smaller and lighter. I don't think we will see much of a HP bump. I unless GM puts out a few more V8s, I don't see how they will have a SS and Z/28.

...., it will be smaller and lighter as written, the standard V8 for the next gen Camaro is the LT1 450 HP 450 ftlb tq, impressive, with a new chassis architecture and weight reduction.
I wouldn't buy a Mustang but I wouldn't buy a 2nd gen based 6th gen Camaro. I'd restore a car instead or buy a used 4th or 5th gen.

I expect there to be a decent bump on performance due to the LT1 and a hopefully solid weight loss. The looks still have to be there before I would consider it.

If GM is able to take styling cues from the C7, I think it would be a good way of moving away from the retro theme.
