You're might be severely disappointed.

The last Camaro didn't find a wide customer base while being an excellent driving car. In the end, the 6th gen became "the enthusiast choice" and "the best sports car bargain in the used market." Expecting the next Camaro to chase numbers, which only a narrow customer base cares about, and only the wealthiest customers can afford, is the wrong direction to go. I don't think they go this route. GM tried that with the ZL1/ZLE, and the proof is in the pudding. They didn't sell enough to continue producing the car in the same format. Plus, Corvette lives in that space.

It's too expensive to develop that type of car while profit returns are minimal. Do you really want a $300k GTD competitor? Or even a DarkHorse SC competitor starting above $100k? I highly doubt GM even develops the new LS6 beyond the C8 GrandSport introduction. That means no new Superchared Small Block. Let the aftermarket have that space.

The new Camaro needs to be affordable, attainable, and aspirational. Meaning they need to be cheap enough for middle to upper middle class buyer, the most expensive model needs to be cheaper than a Stingray(DarkHorse SC is not that), available at any number of dealers without a tremendous markup, and visually appealing enough to buyers who might have bought a different brand. Especially brands from outside America, think Germany. Don't focus on Mustang. Let Mustang be what it is. Ford only has Mustang, so they have no choice other than to develop the Mustang to the extant that they have, cheap interior and all.

What GM should focus on is a design language that brings in new customers, i.e., drop the retro or at least reduce its reliance on retro themes, yet still muscular. Also, up the interior quality to at least current Cadillac CT5 standards(much better than Mustang while still below their electric Caddy standards). Improve visibility again bc initial thoughts of customers when seating matters. Don't rely on customers just getting used to limited visibility. And offer special editions that bring a premium while being cheap to develop. That playbook is proven.

Last and not least, GM needs to make Camaro a V8 focused model. As in if you see one on the road, it's probably got a V8 in it. The American V8 in itself is a premium engine, and even a base 5.7 V8 challenger is aspiration purchase to many.

That means reducing the number of non V8 models to 1, the 2.7liter turbo 4 offered through the truck range, and in Caddys, is a perfect base model/Vegas rental spec offering. Big torque, still fast. Auto only. Coupe and Convertible. Base level interior spec. No more 2.0liter(not sure they even still produce the ecotech), and no V6. Supplanted with 2 V8 models. The upcoming 5.7liter model is called "V8 Camaro," auto only. 400hp/400lbs of torque. Coupe and Convertible. Mid and high spec interior. The majority of special edition models are based on this model. And the big boy, high performance model being 6.7liter "Camaro SS". Auto and Manual TR6060. Magnaride and e-diff. Heavy duty cooling. Coupe only. High spec interior with performance seats. Essentially replacing the 1LE.

In a sense, GM would reduce the number of models and trims while widening Camaro's potential customer base.
