1st Gen:
SS - Special Hood with non-functional vents & badges optional special wheels
Z/28 - Runway Stripes & badges (no badges in 1967), special wheels and in 1969 the ZL-1 Hood was optional

2nd Gen:
SS - badges & optional wheels
Z/28 (early) - Runway Stripes & badges, special wheels
Z/28 (late) - Special hood, Stripes & badges, special wheels

3rd Gen:
Z/28 - Stripes (?), badges and special hood(?) (Not making a distinction between IROC and Z/28 here.)

4th Gen:
Z/28 - Badges only.
SS - Runway Stripes & badges, special hood and later special wheels.

So using the historical "evidence" of what has been done on past Camaros, the high-end Camaro (whatever its called) should follow tradition and at most include: (a) Runway Stripes and badges; (b) Optional Special hood (some sort of forced air-induction would be appropriate); and (c) Optional Special wheels.

Other than that, to give the high-end Camaro any other type of cosmetic distinction over the base model would break from the Camaro's tradition and heritage.

(I really wish you would have included a "None of the above" option in this poll.)

Yes, I was gonna include a none of the above option, but as you can see, the whole poll is very very flawed. My fault.
