Yes, the 1LE is a Track Package that is offered for the Camaro, but I'm speaking of these Ford "power bump" variations (Bullitt & Mach 1). Both Dodge and Ford have offered various performance variants to their lineups, GM's only "variant" is the 1LE (and it still gets the 455hp LT1). I simply would've liked to have seen a "be all, end all" SS variant for its swan song. The Camaro will be gone in ~2 years and replaced with 3-4 new EV CUV's. Hey, it is what it is. On top of all of this, when is the last time that you saw a commercial for a Camaro? Years? Again, Barra is going in a completely different direction.

GM had maxed out the front engine, RWD Corvette platform. There was absolutely nothing more that they could have done with it. My C7 Grand Sport is perfectly balanced and would take a professional driver to push it to its max. It is almost incapable of being upset. The car just sticks and carves. The mid-engine platform opens up an entirely new design that can be pushed further that any front engine. It will be interesting to watch.
