Who knows where Dodge stands but they are due for a 6.4L power bump as well.
Most talk has the 7th Gen debut in 2021, that is a long way off. I guess there is no right/wrong way to handle this.

The only reason Ford might be able to do that in 2020 is because they extended the entire S550 for an extra year. So they will have had 7 years as compared to the Camaro having 6. All GM would have to do is put out an additional offering. But if it's gonna in any way put a damper on what they're doing for the 7th Gen, like we've seen happen to Ford this entire S550 platform, then screw it. Focus on the next thing and move on.
Or do like Dodge is doing with the Hellcat. Remove all options from the ZL1 and offer it bare bones at Bullitt prices.
