Less weight, better brakes, more tire, better suspension ... plus more power. Or pretty much all the things that were different between the 5th gen SS/1LE & Z/28

4. Carbon ceramic brakes are under there.

5. It won't be a cheap car. It will be more expensive than the ZL1. Probably in the 70s.

These comments here are insane.
More important than the hood is what is under it.

The size of those door windows relative to the car just kill it for me.

I see the wrap but what does that have to do with the windows being too small? Are the windows partially wrapped too?

The outer part of the weather seal is wrapped, which is creating the illusion of a smaller window. Same window on all the Gen 6 Camaros. The windows are short, but that's a hallmark of the modern Camaro.

Exactly, For an example the 17 1LT 1LE was faster around the track than a Hellcat AKA Fatcat
