However, they did start mid-engine development before the bankruptcy, so I guess the Camaro wasn’t that big of a factor at that point. No matter what, the Camaro will improve greatly with the next generation thanks to the C8 Corvette.
Zora has been dead for a long time and Tadge is in charge of the program today, so they choices being made are based on what Tadge wants and not what Zora wants.

The Corvette isn't the limiting factor for Camaro performance today and hasn't been the case for a number of years now.
