I really wish people would STOP repeating this lie/change of history.

When the Gen 5 came out Chevy was not touting the "road course" prowess of these cars, because they were frightfully bad. The shift to road course "focus" happened after the 5.0 started dominating the drag strip and the ZL1 was less than stellar on the drags too.

It wasn't until the 1LE option appeared that people started acting like the Camaro was always "really" intended for that. It was an adaptation due to the Camaro falling short in its traditional role.
