I think it's cool that Camaros run against WRX's and 86's and M3's and Mini's, yeah there might be some overdogs (time will tell) but the fact that it works out that they're close at all is cool.

I don't disagree that it's close to street class. But I'm thinking we'd want to keep it from being a full STX build in involvement and cost.
Such a twin (spec twin that is) I would think would be more palatable (less close to street) if we forget that TRD twins exist right now. Springs/shocks/bars/alignment capability and bolt-on-only power is farther away from DS than CS.
And maybe it's a place for me to run and hide from the miatae while still having a lowered car, and not spending full-scale STX money.

I don't think there's that many people sad about not having an inbetween for Street and Street Touring, and there's too big a difference driver to driver as to what is missing from street and what's 'too much' in street touring. Personally I want full alignment capability, someone else probably wants headers and tune, someone else wants wider wheels and tires, someone else wants lowering springs, someone else wants to have full aero.
can't please everybody

Also agreed. Maybe they'll have a door #3 option, but I'm thinking that this (street-plus) is the straightforward comprehensive structure to cover the bases that we end up starting with.
Full disclosure: What I described I would be interested in doing. Just a street car that handles well and sounds good, and is within the reach of more casual folks. The notions of making it just a consensus fixed spec but otherwise full STX build are much less appealing to me.
