Probably because the uncultured, slack jawed rednecks that find Camaro's appealing, can't even spell Camaro right, much less appreciate a limited edition High Performance variant.

Hehe, what about that nice "Heritage Edition", you got those purty stripes up and dwon your hood

Anyways Chevy built a Camaro that would outperform the king Vette? ... will never happen.

What?? U guys better be joking because that BS isn't cool. Maybe Chevy said OK to let all the SE's be made by Pontiac since all of Pontiacs TPI cars weren't as fast as the Chevys with TPI. Lets see, what can we do to compete with the Camaro?? Put on a restrictive air intake and add extra weight, LOL. J/K, I like both but I like Chevy better.

I have to agree about the camaro as much as I like it, it is a typical ******* mobile... but if it's still driving its not as much so... I think I'm going to order the rusty camaro on blocks kit with extra door to put on the ground beside it... no offense intended camaro guys... oh yeah, to add to the actual topic to be discussed, the IROC was at least equivalent to the TTA...
