Add Carbon Ceramic brakes, remove the rear seats, OFFER feature deletions and super lightweight seats, and you’ve got a Z/28. It’s got all the features you want in a daily driver, and all the capability you need to lap tracks.
I mention fuel efficiency because the LT4 is a gas guzzler and more MPG=more track time.

To me, no it doesn't have to be faster. BUT because the 5th gen car put the Z/28 on a pedestal as a halo model, many believe it must be the fastest track Camaro offered. I think the formula you laid out would work perfect, I just don't think it would be the "halo" model people think it needs to be.

PS all you will need is 560-600HP like to see more we all do.

I would love to be wrong, I just don't see it happening.
