Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but, in the 4th generation, weren't Z28 and SS flipped, in terms of which one was more powerful/desirable/expensive than the other?

I found that a bit odd

But, historically, wasn't Z/28 a handling package?

#4, Mostly. Everything on Camaros back in the day was either an X-code or Z-code, with two numbers behind. Z27, for example, meant the car was a Super Sport. Z22 meant it was a Rally Sport. Z11 meant it was a Pace Car edition convertible.

Z28 meant Trans Am homologation special. Because GM never actually gave that trim level a name, everyone just started calling them "Z28s", and it became a notorious enough name that in '68 it became the official name of the trim level. Sometime in the middle of the second generation, it lost whatever official meaning it ever had, and ever since it's just meant a high-level V8 Camaro....some years it's a higher level than others.

#5, Odd. I wonder why there was no third gen "SS" though?

#6, "SS", and other superlative high performance nomenclature as such became dirty words when insurance companies started clamping down HARD on "fast" cars in the early '70s...

#6, Maybe they got tired of some people giving the cars the ol' soldierly "salute" when they drove by.

I'm just glad they didn't bring back IROC. I relate it too much to the 80s.

#1, Overall, I think Chevy is not managing their names that well based on the "Chevy SS".
I imagine Camaro LT and Camaro SS was based on their existing brand marketing strategy of using SS for the upper end Chevy. Therefore, using Camaro LT and Camaro Z28 in 2010 may seem odd.

#9, Well, I understand Camaro LT, as that was a designation in the 1970s, and I understand LS, because it signifies "base model", but why not have a "Berlinetta" as an option?

Someone should try to special-order a Camaro LT with a vinyl top and wire wheelcovers.
