So it was really only the first and the fifth generations where the badge held any real significance.
Not saying they should do that again, but if they put the supercharged LT5 in the Z 1LE and called it a Z/28 I certainly would not call it blasphemy.

Gen3 is when they came out with the 1LE to compensate for the misuse of the Z28 name. To truly set things right, the current 1LE should be the Z/28. ...and the ZL1 should have the LT5
