Also, a 750 HP ZL1 1LE with some additional suspension and tech changes to support the LT5 would look better to a lot of ppl facing years waiting for a 670 HP Z06 at reasonable price. You can buy a 2022 ZLE right now at MSRP or less if you hunt around.

IMO GM would not risk their product marketing strategy by taking attention off the CT5VB and C8 Z06.

I also think this is all super unlikely, but there's one point I want to make, you assume "GM" works as a single large entity and does what's the best for that single entity—well, that is a big assumption.

In my experience large companies have warring or at least intensely competing factions each fighting for their own projects and roadmaps and budgets, so the fact that an updated Camaro may steal Cadillac's thunder isn't necessarily reason enough for "the company" not to do it.
