The Z28s prior to the 5th gen car have nothing to do with the original Z/28s. If GM made the 7th gen Camaro a FWD sedan, no one would say later generations should also be FWD sedans because of the 7th gen.
The 5th gen Z/28 was never going to sell well, because people don't want stiff riding cars. They want cushy rides, which is why mag ride is so popular.

The 5th gen Z28 didn't sell well because it was much to expensive and was built for road course purpose which doesn't attract the masses . If the car stuck to its roots of all the early Z28's which was a car that handled well (wasn't a cushy ride) can be enjoyed on the street, drag strip and everything else 99 % of us use a car for and affordable it would have sold very well.
