If you want to key in on that one feature, you are correct. And it's the reason there isn't one offered now. There are a ton of features that didn't exist back in the day that could rule out calling any model being called anything that it is now...You can cherry pick and interpret legacy and heritage features and emotions to fit any argument you care to make...

I would suggest that the most track focused and best performing model of Camaro could fill the bill of being called a Z/28....The ZL1 1LE seems to be in the theme of the Z/28 more than any other Camaro. But semantics of N/A keep that from happening...If it were called a Z/28 I don't think anyone would have been surprised. There is a whole forum and numerous threads suggesting the Z/28 would have the LT4...and for all intents and purposes, it did....just not the badge.

So here we are, no Z/28, and none on the horizon other than the scrambling for an explanation by experts, magazine editors and bloggers who have new-found insight into something that maybe two, three, or four years away.
