Yeah, but only if it's pro street.

My rationale is: Z/28 is the competitor to the Mustang GT350, and if the supercharged LT1 is good enough for the Corvette Z06, then it should suffice for the trackable Camaro.

I'd be fine with anything they do with the next Z/28 as long as the LT4 goes in the next ZL1. P.S., i think the current ZL1 handles the track quite nicely, just not a 98% track focused car like the Z/28 |

I would have liked the gen5 Z/28 to have had the ZL1 tires and brakes, LS7, etc. and an option to add the CC brakes and Trofeo tires. I do however admire the purity of the Z/28.
I've wondered if the production goals for the Z/28 are being met. I recall 1500 units needed to not loose money. Al O promised the bean counters it would not loose money! That's why I mentioned optioning the gen6 Z/28 similar to the C7 Z06 w/Z07 to bring the entry price down. I really wanted an LS7 Camaro but couldn't justify running those tires and brakes for the way I use my car.

I understand your rational but I disagree. The Z06 is no longer a focused track car. It's more of a grand touring car. Putting a blown small block, auto Trans and convertible model show a shift of priorities.

First, T-tops all but impossible due to federal roof crush standards. Not impossible but would add a LOT of weight to get a roof panel to handle the loads (refer to my previous post)
Hatch back, although a market differentiator, would destroy the body structure and put the Camaro at a huge disadvantage for body stiffness. Again can be compensated for but would add a LOT of weight. So T-tops that pass roof strength and a hatch that doesn't compromise body stiffness would be the smaller more svelte Alpha based car that weighs about what a ZL1 does today. So it's possible from a technical perspective, just not plausible. Sorry

Oh, no doubt the Alpha platform should spawn a superb performance car. I'll bet the 6th gen SS handles as well as the current 1LE.

Whatever the engine size (4-6 or 8 cyl. ) I expect the Camaro to be fastest in each class , within a acceptable price range ,
