The number of people that will pony up $85k+ for a LT5 powered 6th gen isn't enough to warrant it.
An LT5 Camaro would draw attention to the brand. Similar to what Ford did with the GT500 and Dodge did with the 2015 Hellcat and 2018 Redeye.

An LT2 type power increase to the SS would draw attention to the brand similar to what Ford did with the 18 Coyote A10 and Dodge did with the Scatpack.

No commercials needed. Social media will do it for you.

If you’re going to design and leave it alone until the next generation, don’t plan to be relevant in the fifth, sixth and seventh model year. Botched facelift or not.
