The first step IMO, would be that people need to accept a 6th gen Z/28 most likely won't be the top dog. The 5th gen car was, but future models dont need to be.

My recipe for a 6th gen Z/28 is pretty much follow the grand sport formula. Start with a SS 1LE, give it all the go fast suspension bits from the ZL1 1LE. Powerplant, IMO a hot LT1 would be just fine. Think LS1 to LS6.

It would easily be the top performing NA Camaro, probably in the upper 50 range price wise maybe low 60s.

Think that will sell, but that's not a Z/28 that's the Z28 cars of the past, as Al said the Z/28 needs to be true to its heritage, it will be IMO the top track car.
