It's more Z/28 than a 1LE. I think once all the suspension details come out, combined with the efforts to lose weight, it will be much more of a performance option package than any previous 1LE....
It's the most expensive, best track performance, of any Camaro to date....yet due to a superstition and legacy of a 50 year old model, it can't be called a Z/28....But basically that is what it is...Much more than a 1LE upgrade....

I dont see any reason it couldnt be called a Z/28, GM/Chevrolet can put that name on any version of a Camaro they like.... a Z28 wasnt squat in the 4th gen, just the base model V8 car! The SS actually out ranked it. The ZL1 moniker also carries its own legacy for the last 48 years. In the beginning, the ZL1 was only a straight lIne monster meant for NHRA sanctioned series, just the same the Z/28 was homologated for SCCA Trans Am series. Two different street cars for two very different racing series.... The ZL1 in the 5th gen took on a new persona to be good at everything. Things can change as they see fit.
