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.
I took "our cars" as Zl1's. The ZL1 is/was a pretty damn good track car. Not saying people on here don't fall back on tracking when the 1/4 mile comes up, but there is no denying the Zl1 is a pretty bad ass all around car.
