Now lets push ahead to 2024 or sooner , what i would like to see is a 775HP or more maybe even much more motor . On the lines of the new Cadillac Blackwing along with some electric motors to equal that HP and 850+ in torq. There won't be enough aerodynamics available to keep grip for that car , that's where AWD comes in . I think that would be the perfect Z28 , Al O talked about wanting a sub 7 minute Camaro at Nurburgring , a Z28 AWD hybrid will do it . It may not come cheap but neither did the last one. Don't let what the Camaro never had fog your mind , open it up to the tech that's out there NOW and use it .
Al can say that kind of stuff all day. Until we see a ring time from the ZR1 I wouldn't get your hopes up about the Camaro being king of the ring at GM.

I think you have been missing what has been said about Camaro , it’s in a process of evolution.Sadly people are thinking the next gen Camaro needs to look like a 3rd gen Camaro with split bumpers powered by a big block , that’s not going to happen. The 7th gen can’t look like any Camaro we have seen before,and will be powered differently then we have seen before,like it or not . GM won’t be adding another performance line when they are having trouble now selling. I want to see the Camaro move forward .
I get you want to see Camaro move forward, but I don't think the Camaro is the right test bed for that kind of tech you want to see.
