It seems similar to an old school driving experience.

With full respect I would have to disagree.. I know on paper that it looks like the new V6 or 4T would give you the same driving experience but I can tell you from being behind the wheel of both old and new it is not.
I'm in my 50s and been very blessed to have owned several Muscle cars
1975 1976 1979 Trans AM, 1982 Z/28, 1996 and 2004 Corvette, 2011 Camaro SS and the 2017 Camaro SS over the years
I drove a 442 Olds from the 70s and my buddy restored a 1966 Mustang GT350 as well as several other buddies muscle cars when I was younger. While the new Camaro V6 is a nice car and meets the specs. It by know means has the feel of torque and punch that the old school big V8s had.
Again Not knocking the V6 it is a very good motor and model but it not the same experience of a old school Muscle car.
