I was looking forward to owning the end all collector Camaro and now I’ll keep my ZLE over that brittle puppy. I appreciate the info man so thanks for clarifying things cuz most dealerships can’t even carry on a 2 minute conversation when it comes this car. With all that said GM should be ashamed of themselves … they took the real car guys out of the divisions and we get badges and a flat color to commemorate an icon. Btw I own a black ZLE so color isn’t the issue.

All true, but you're still somewhat naively anthropomorphizing this company. Every step they take is calculated, they have no vision, pride or morality, just an emotionless drive to cater to the set of buyers that are most likely to be or become the mainstream. Morph products as necessary, to fit whatever looks to be the next expansion bandwagon opportunity, maximizing political correctness in the process.

It's on us customers to change this outlook itself, no amount of complaining, convincing or presentation will make them change course a hundredth of a degree.

(Before someone chimes in with "you just described capitalism", no, it isn't that, but this shouldn't become a political thread )
