 Them building that car has nothing to do with a following, has nothing to do with them drumming up sales...it has everything to do with "wow, look at what we did". A few rich wanna be drag racers will buy them and shove them in a heated garage so they can rub one out to them as it sits there. 
Maybe there aren't many new Camaro's up by you but there are a ton around here. There was a waiting list for how long? The car is selling just fine.
400lb's is a lot of weight to trim and the Z28 hasn't been a SCCA tribute since the 60's. As far as the Z06 engine goes I believe they're phasing out the LS7(I could be wrong though).
With all of the safety equipment that's required it's hard to keep the weight down. Yes the car is bulky, yes the looks are subjective but the car handles its own just fine. It smokes it's competitors, Ford is just now upping the ante with the 5.0 Mustang, GM has time to respond. As of right now the Camaro is king of the hill...not sure why there's such an issue.
