If that were the case the C8 would be collecting dust in showrooms. GM can’t make them fast enough.
Every kid still loves the sound of a small block. Fact.

I tend to agree. These three (actually two) issues that we are willing to overlook would be so easy to fix, but GM decided to settle for putting the car on life support instead with minimal (new infotainment, rear view camera, front collision alert, A10, line lock on the SS) or outright bogus investments (facelift).

Not a fact as most kids nowadays don't care about cars nor do they even want to drive. The ones that do only want status symbol cars that way they can show off on all their social media platforms.

That is not all "kids nowadays", the media attention whores you're talking about are only a small, although loud, minority. That said, it is true that people in general care less about driving with all the pressures of (post)modern life and the electronic gizmos that surround them, but IMO the audience sports and muscle cars like the Camaro would appeal to the most is and will always be limited. I see nothing wrong with it as long as honest effort is being made by manufacturers to capture buyers and slowly improve their overall sales, which GM doesn't seem to be interested in.
On topic, the "electric Camaro" is a :yawn: from me, I don't yet see what would or even could differentiate it from the rest of the "me too" electric pack.
