Highly unlikely. As I understood, Alpha is positioned as the small-midsize performance oriented platform, while Omega is the large to X-large luxury oriented platform. I don't believe Omega can scale down to Camaro size (110" wheelbase), I could be wrong. The CT6 (122" wheelbase) is supposed to be the smaller sedan to ride on Omega with plans for a larger sedan as well as a 7-passenger luxury crossover in the future.

Another example - the Buick Avista concept rides on Alpha and has a 110" wheelbase. The Avenir concept is CT6 sized and rides on Omega.

The better question is, what would an Omega based Chevelle weigh...(think Challenger's 116" wheelbase)
