Todays SS's are usually the top performers for that model...and that class of vehicle.
so to use the SS on the top performing Camaro is appropriate....
the Z28 on the other hand was the best road race Camaro. that in my opinion is how it should be now. If they come out with a Z28 then it should harken back to the origional.. the 67. Small high reving engine with big HP, a 302V8 with 290 rated HP (actuall hp has been rumored to be closer to 325) best handleing cars of it's time...
Those wanting a 500 HP Camaro Z28 do not realize that that is not the Z28's heritage.

those you mean all of us? That's a pretty wide reaching statement. Before you lump all of us in that group you may want to read posts from Radz, Box's SilverTurtle, Supermans, mine and many others. Because quite a few of us understand what the original Z28 was. Remember when we heard about the blown mule we didn't know the SS would be the entry V8. So when the SS was announced we guessed, if the blown motor survived, it would be the Z28... Not to much of a stretch is it?
