I do think GM has learned this lesson. As someone that tracked all my Camaros, I would EASILY sacrifice the negligible difference the trunk opening made performance wise for an opening that would have allowed me to easier fit stuff and a larger cooler. A large cooler is a need for a track day (for us peasants who drive/drove our Camaro’s to the track).

I don't agree about the track goodies, many of us bought the car because it's a DD that can do track days. I've only done 6 days in the Camaro, and i still think it's worth it. We have a whole package engineered for track durability, the tires + front camber adjustability + extra cooling + brakes + suspension + driving modes + PDR. How much are we really talking about per car? How much do you want to remove until it's all show and no go. Everyone seems to mention the coolers as an annoyance, what is that really $1k-2k?.
When they discontinued the car, i kind of put it into weekend car status since at the time it seemed this would be the last ICE manual Camaro ever. After 50kmiles of DD, taking the kids here and there. I'm glad there's talk of a 7th gen, but if it doesn't equal the ss 1le, i'm not buying it.
