Maybe my understanding of this is way off base but I just was thinking about it and curious to what other people think.

If your question was, would it be good for GM? Probably no, as many have mentioned it is not cost effective. Also, the next gen platform will be a nice fit, but that's it.
Now, regardless of what all of the GM groupies say, the Camaro would greatly benefit from having its own platform. Just look at the well received FR-S. Ignoring cost, there is no reason why the Camaro would not benefit.
