You cannot lump in a Camaro SS with the 6 cylinder argument. No such cars were made in F-body's...BKH

I entirely agree with this position. The SS Camaro in the
big block varient was the top dog.

In a street race (where 99% of these cars built thier rep, and what sold the cars) what would you rather have: a small block 302 that had 0 low rpm torque or a 396 that was all in with 400lbs + torque @ 5k.? Remember the Z28 was built to go Trans Am racing, wasn't necessarily built to be the number one selling Camaro. Although they did sell a ton of them. My .02

The ss was king absolutely . As the cowboy said when a man with a 6 gun meets a man with a rifle the man with the 6 gun dies. However the small block needs some respect with the right driver and the right gear combination(488 and a carb change would propelled the little rocket down the quarter at a consistent 12:60 with slicks.
I know I was there.
