That alone is still cheaper than a ZL1 MSRP. Most people want a more powerful Z but reality is that the Z/28 wasn't the top camaro until then 5th gen. It's doesn't need to be now. GM can build a Z/28 at the same price GT350R right now with CCB if they wanted. Z/28 wo CCB 57,xxx. Z/28 with CCB 63,xxx. GM has already shown us they can outrun Ford cars in the road coarse with less power. Check out what the 5th gen 1LE did to the BOSS 302. A Z/28 with CCB will weigh 3650 or less by my calculations. Chevy just needs to make the Z/28 at least 8K or more cheaper than a ZL1 1LE option for option. It can be done on the 6th gen Camaro
The Z28 was the top Camaro from '73-'95. There was no SS during that time.
