If they feel the need to update the performance coupe version just use the already developed alpha 2 chassis and LT2 engine. It’s really not that hard to update it since the camaro is basically a parts bin car (I mean this in a good way since the parts come from good Chevy’s).
Gen7 Camaro was supposed to be Aplha2 with LT2. That died when they "indefinitely delayed" gen7 and moved Al O to EV development.

The current Camaro rides on GM's Alpha platform, which will be phased out in favor of an updated version dubbed A2XX. The A2XX platform underpins the Cadillac CT4 and CT5, while the ATS and CTS used the old Alpha platform. With the Camaro's demise, it will end the Alpha platform's lifespan for good.
