I thought the SS was the king of the ring...? Which is why I am still confused.

I was referring to the linked page. Says "possibly confirmed," which don't mean squat, it's an oxymoron. If there is other news, such as camaro5, which DOES confirm it, then I will have to check it out.

With the introduction of the LT1 cars, the SS package was added on top of the z28 package to give, springs, ram air, tires, exhaust and so on (had been killed since the early 70's).
Guess they felt like going back to their roots.
With the fourth Gens. I'd hardly call the SS the king of the ring. As with the WS6, all the addon's are basically for looks.

They are referring back to the roots, when with the z28 package you got a high compression circle track solid lifter high reving 302 w/ a 850 4 barrel. They were rated at 290ish hp, but current dyno's say that is about 100 hp off the mark. The SS received the 327 or the 396, and was much more standard. Back in the days (from my dad's standards) the z/28 was rarer and was produced in limited numbers. I think only 200 were built in 67. The z also came with a 5 speed vs a 4 speed.

Ahh ok, thats make more sense then. As far as the part in bold, yea you're are right about the cosmetic additions available in the SS, but they were rated at more power, even though, we all know, an LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. I wouldn't call them king of the ring, but they are more, IMHO, more "prestigious"
Me being 29 was confused also. So I resorted to asking my pop's, he gave me the whole spill. I could see the confusion, as 95% of the market will be.

I'm sorry forgive me, but who are you again? I must have missed it when you signed up here 5 years after me. See back then just like now I was too busy knowing things about these cars to care to ask for your opinion. 
As far as this thread goes I love the idea, I just love the idea of all the losers eating their words more.
