The spirit is the kind of approach is more what I'm talking about. Set the car up a little different for the different user groups the same as the trucks are intended to. Some guys hunt, some guys want something murdered out with cool wheels, those groups get trucks aimed at them. Car guys will fall into their own groups. Option delete adjustments or setups that are already available in existing alternate offerings wouldn't require any re-engineering. It's a shuffle to give groups of different enthusiasts a car that fits them better.
I may be wrong but I thought there had been statements already released concerning a shift in trim level adjustments/options. If Al can't address them he can't, but if he can it would be cool to know what the coming refresh may offer other than new looks.

As for the shocks, I
think the Z71 uses Rancho shocks so I don't think there is any extra work to put them on a truck. I didn't see anything listed in the Realtree edition to indicate that these are special in any way. Likewise, I think the Wrangler Duratrac tires are also regular items on non-special edition Silverados. So mechanically, you could get a non-special edition truck that drives exactly the same. Step rails, light bars, vinyl graphics, and tonneau covers or other accessories can be be slapped onto a truck with ease and can make for a pretty big difference in functionality, but its still just a regular Silverado underneath that stuff. So those are all just cosmetic packages.
And I'm pretty sure that is
not what you are looking for in the Camaro. You want performance upgrades, be it through parts borrowing, lightweight, or straight up performance parts (ie, cams & straight axles). Since there are no street legal production Camaros that have hot cams or solid axles, anything with that kind of stuff needs to be engineered.
Thats what I was referring to in my post.
