Sounds like a smart move. I miss the days when you could order a base model and piece together what you wanted. Now it's: here buy this and get all the crap you don't need!

I'm all for any moves that get people into a Camaro... unfortunately, I love the 2SS so unless they lower the price nothing changes for my V8 obsession.

For many car lines, the number of buildable combinations is several 10s of times the annual volume and most combinations are never actually built, but they are accounted for. As a made up example, if the assembly plant knew that every car built with leather would also have an 8" Nav, that makes inventory management a lot easier.

Good find.
The Reuss boys are smart motorheads. Glad he's tweaking. Just curious though, does he know about the 1SS model? Quote:
The Camaro racer for NASCAR is expected to begin racing next year. It replaces the Chevrolet SS. |

The 1SS still comes with a lot of equipment, for one they could remove the forced RS bits, make it an add-on package, and save a few bucks there.

Almost sounds like the Stripper Z might make a return.

Could mean a base V8 that is not as track capable and equipped like a 1LS/1LT. All season tires and smaller wheels and brakes, base gauge cluster, 7" radio, halogen headlights, etc.

The Camaro SS does come with what the optional Mustang Performance Package is, standard. No Brembos on base gt. Maybe remove them to lower price. Check out these numbers I just came across: Quote:
$3000 price hike with above options to just come up to the base SS. |

And the ford performace package - brembos, etc, etc. could come out. The $3000 2018 Mustangg GT w/ p pack price increase is going to be a huge leveling of the playing field, too. |

I'm sure many will. Big block is dead though. It's just not needed anymore due to advances in metallurgy, manufacturing and understanding in chemistry and physics. We can do more with less and without all the weight and heat sink.

Maybe a 5.3 for the base V-8.
