i'm in the Z/28 camp and i'll explain why.......
i first got into Camaros because of the 1st gens. i used to write book reports on them in school. yes, i'm a Camaro geek.......
the car is 1st gen inspired and i think the model line up should be also. that being said, the SS should get "king of the street" honors, (don't even think about it James ) and the Z/28 should be the Z06 of the Camaro world.
the SS name is a common among almost all Chevy models. the Corvette and the Camaro have never been "common" Chevys. they are cars that have a character that lives outside of Chevy.
i do think the SS should be the top model in the line up (no James ).
that being said, i think the Z/28 should be the top performer of the line.
both cars can live together fine, but differentiate them this time by giving each badge a purpose again, just like the 1st gens.
run the Z/28 in the Speed World Challenge.
run the SS in any and all NHRA classes.
i don't want a repeat of the 4th gens.
i want to buy a Z/28 knowing the confidence to take it to any road course in the country is built into the car.
i want the SS guys to beat up on any and all competitors at drag strips across the country.
who cars which one gets the gigundo displacement LSwhateverisavailablein08. give these designations back their personality and all this bickering will end.
what do you guys think?

Yeah, I know. That's why I linked it. We get it. Too bad others don't. It begs the question, "Are we done yet?"

Re: Z/28 camp.....SS camp.....GET IN HERE!!!!!!!
IIRC the '97 SS's were officially "Z/28 SS"
Nobody complained when it came out. Everybody was excited to see it.
Put an SS trim package on top of the Z/28 and call it good... make both sides happy. Can we put it to bed already??

Re: Z/28 camp.....SS camp.....GET IN HERE!!!!!!!
At least they had the sense to keep the Z28 name on there somewhere at first. Then they took it off and what we have now all started, a division between 2 groups about the same car.
