For a while there, I was a little frustrated with the whole supercharged Z28 idea as well. I completely see why this is frustrating. So much of this site was convinced of a Z28 at release until recently, and they still hold out for one later. GM basically has to offer a Z28 option to keep some of its enthusiast support. Some of these enthusiasts accept that business is bad for GM right now, so their patience is necessary. Others have demanded a Z28 or they will buy used cars or Fords because their passion cannot be satisfied with a 400-hp SS.
All of these sides are understandable. I'm with a separate crowd altogether. This is my first pony car, so I'm in it for a great experience in the fastest, best car I've ever owned.

I can see those who have driven Z28s justifying to themselves supercharged or other high-performing Z28s out of the factory. I can also see why the limited evidence of such a car making discussion of why the LSA Z28 is so dominant a little annoying since it will probably never exist.
I wish that a Z28 and the SS were available at launch. That would make everyone happy.
