I haven't read anyone else mention this but it makes sense to me. The only thing I would find hard to believe with this concept is the Z/28 car having the same heart as the new C8. I don't necessarily believe GM would allow that to happen.
A 6th gen, stripped out, more powerful NA Camaro than the SS but not as much power as the ZL1 (Just like 5th gen) and lighter than SS and ZL1. This is just an idea that hit me this morning.
Do I think it will actually happen? most likely not....
But what if they did?

It's not happening....
1.) The LT2 will most likely power the next generation Camaro...
2.) GM is not going to make the same mistakes twice by creating a stripper version Z/28
3.) They also wont basically create a more powerful SS 1LE
The reality is that the Z/28 is essentially dead in this environment... and short of them throwing an LT1 with a power bump into the ZL1 1LE setup... I don't see them ever building a 6th gen Z/28...
