Think they wished it was called a z28?

Die Exploder, die!I've also thought about a Cobalt SS as a daily driver. I'd have to get rid of that big wing though.

IF they were saving "Z/28" for the LSA version and IF the LSA version never makes it to production (and I hope it does!), I would be very surprised if the "Z/28" didn't come back.
Make a few cosmetic changes, maybe a suspension tweak or two, differerent wheels and call change the SS to Z/28. Kind of the route they took with 4th Gen's Z28 to SS.
I'm not talking about the drastic weight reduction some are wanting though. Yeah, it'd be nice, but I really think that would be cost prohibitive.

It actually looks better with no spoiler at all ( when lowered about an inch ) . I think the Z will fall into the lineup eventually . It would be nice if they could squeeze 50 or so more hp out of the LS3 and drop 500 lbs ...Over swelling the weight to over 4000 lbs with the LSA . Pipe dream I know , but one can dream

Gm doesn't need to make grossly expensive versions of the Camaro just yet.
I would much prefer if GM came out with a stripped down auto x version of the SS, same power but lighter with a tighter suspension. I'd rather they made the Z/28 something like the bullitt rather than the GT500.
Let an afterfactory company like SLP put together a 1000 car run of a ZL1 Camaro after a few years

You do realize that Ford is only making like 1000 of those right? and they are 50-80k

Of course the new 08 turbo's maybe a different story though. But considering their more fuel efficient replacement is already in the works, does anyone really care?
