Two different builds depending which route i take. I’m trying to talk myself into the Camaro but the lack of power is making me hesitate.
Gotcha, and I figured as much as you did describe the routes you would take with each, basically targeting and maximizing the different strengths of each platform.

Just wanted to make sure you knew. I am a N/A manual car guy myself, it doesnt even have to be fast lol!! If it has that sweet V8 note and 3 pedals, then I am a happy camper.
