I think the '69 Camaro had an SS meant to be top dog, but they found the Z28 to be the better of the two in handling and similiar in speed. And then I know the SS dies out in the 70's for a bit and the Z28 was the top dog, and I know a Z28 is rarer from '69, saw it on Barret Jackson. But as for the new Camaro what is being projected is a lineup similiar yo compete with the Mustang, a injected V6 maybe a 3.8, then a possible RS to better the V6's looks and bump up the horsepower, like the Stang's Pony Package, then there will be the Z28 with the LS2 Vette motor with Z06 suspension, and finally a year or two later they should have the LS7 in the SS or LZ-1 or maybe they will put the new LS-9 in it or do LS7 for the SS and a LS9 for a LZ-1 if they decide to do both.

But I would bet this - Base Camaro: (est. 3.8) V6, RS Package: (est. 3.8) V6 (bumped up looks and horsepower), Z28: LS2 6.0 V8 (with Z06 Suspension Package available), ...........eventually SS / LZ-1: LS7 7.0 V8. That is what I would bet on!
