Hmmm, I like the idea of the new 1LE package. Unfortunately it seems to be just a handling and cosmetic package with nothing really being done to increase engine hp and torque, or lighten weight. I can't really see it being any competition to the Mustang Boss 302 with 444 hp and hundreds of pounds less weight.
If Chevy does come out with a 5th gen Z28 I would hope it would lose 200-300 hundred pounds if not more, come with a smaller cid engine that revs higher than the current engine in the SS, and be a stripped car with no electronic gadgetry, no unneeded and for me unwanted luxury items, and sell for less than an SS. With that being said I think I am going to wait for the 6th gen Camaro supposedly due out in 2015 on the Alpha platform which should make it smaller and lighter than the current Camaro. Let's all pray that GM gets the 6th gen Camaro right with a weight of no more than 3,400 lbs., a 5.0-5.5 liter V8 engine that can rev to 7,000 rpm with say 450 hp, retro styling with no squashed top look, and a stripped version available with nothing on it that doesn't make it go faster, stop quicker, or handle better that is called a Z28.
