GM is calling this their "lowering kit". That identifies its intended purpose and its target buyer. Nowhere in Chevy's description does it even mention that this kit provided any performance improvement.
Now I'm sure that GM didn't want this kit to test any slower than base production stock, and they probably wanted a mild improvement. Which is what they got, but which is still not something they feel any need to advertise. And if they're not advertising any real performance improvement, only subjective feel, that must mean that GM didn't develop this kit with performance primarily in mind.
I will give you that at least one aftermarket outlet appears to be describing this kit as "16-19+ Camaro LS/LT & SS Performance Lowering Kit - General Motors". But that's their own independent advertising pitch, not GM's. GM doesn't even give performance secondary billing (i.e. "Lowering Performance" or some such).
How many threads here and over on Camaro5 are there where people are unhappy with the stock tire to fender gap to the point where they absolutely have to lower their rides? Vs how many people who don't autocross or track their cars pay any real attention to lap time performance potential in those activities?
I can read that performance actually did improve with the lowering kit just as well as you can.

Remember, you keep quoting me in your argument, and since I did not say what you are arguing about, that is a straw man by you.

What I'm trying to get across to you is that you're insisting that a strictly-secondary benefit of this kit is the primary reason for its existence. That's not a straw man thing at all.
