I agree but there are people here that believe GM knowingly knew the Z28 was no longer focused as a handling package in 72 so they changed the badge to Z28 in instead of Z/28 thats why the 5th gen car being so focused was a welcome return of the /. I have argued people just seem to leave out the fact that in 70 and 71 it was already Z28 lol |

There is too many tricky questions about letting Camaro die again. Not just the CT6 saving, upcoming CT4 and CT5 aren't canceled by GM. Meanwhile, FCA is going to make electric Challenger in future. However, pure V8 era will be end.

No Corvette or Camaro has ever been AWD, nor should they. Plenty of other names/brands they can market those types of cars under. Same goes for Mustangs and Challengers, etc.

They already have an AWD V6 Challenger and you better believe that the next Mustang will have an AWD EB model. AWD is not necessary in any Camaro. AWD is not ideal for a track car(talking about how enjoyable it is, not how quick it is. Y'all aren't racing for a world cup) and it requires the car to sit higher. AWD also makes the packaging in the car very tight, which means that you can't have an LT5 sitting on top of a front differential. Less weight will be the name of the 7th gen's game. Lighter=quicker, more agile, more efficient, and more fun. |

At one time no Corvette was an V8 or fuel injection , disc brakes or anything else that makes the car what it is today,same goes for the Camaro. A AWD Corvette and Camaro is needed in the line up , not to putt putt your way to work on a snowy day but to dominate on track . |

Comparing disc brakes and fuel injection to an entire platform layout is laughable at best. Have you driven an AWD sports car - or do you own one? If not, why not? There are already plenty of options for you besides desecrating the Camaro name with AWD.

Now with that said I agree like others that the Camaro doesn't need AWD and the team knows that and therefor we most likely won't see an AWD Camaro until we reach the point in time when there is a 100% electric Camaro at which point of course it will be AWD with a motor at each wheel. The "rumored" AWD C8 Vette (IF IT IS REAL) won't be a traditional AWD car like the GTR or R8, it will be a hybrid setup much like the 918, TTV8 powering the rear wheels and electric motors powering the front. This will work well for a mid-engine platform, hence it's already been proven on the 918. I don't see such a setup working on the front-engine Camaro. So IMO, AWD is coming eventually... but not for a while so clam down everyone that's terrified of a little change. As others have said I too think the Gen 7 will best benefit from being as light and nimble as possible, it will sit on the revised Alpha II platform so hopefully they will shed a few more pounds there and I'm really hoping they go for a mostly aluminum body that would be the most cost efficient way to save more weight across the lineup. And be prepared for more CF and composites and/or weight saving options on the higher trims (like the GT350R and 5th gen Z/28 did). Thanks to the parts bin we will see stuff from the C8, I really don't understand why people are doubting this, just because an engine is developed mainly for the mid-engine Vette doesn't mean it can't work in the Camaro. The 7th Gen is almost certainly well into development, right along side the C8, and I believe we will see it release as a 2022MY right after the C8 for 2021MY. Just my 2 cents, rant over haha
