Also no more dark colors and never a clear top ever again.

I guess these cars have the 4 and 8 banger junk like my C7 had. I had a Range device to keep it in V8 mode.
I see, $45k won't buy a ZL1 that is worth getting. Since you don't want creature comforts and frills, I'd try a 2019 1SS or if you plan to track the car, a 2021 1SS 1LE with the A10. Forget NPP, you'll want to go aftermarket with the exhaust anyway to match or exceed that GT350.

Do NOT pass up a test drive, I'm pretty sure you'll be pleased with how good the chassis and the handling are, I'm sure the car will stand its ground compared to your C7. One more thing, personally I would want magnetic ride control in any street driven Camaro, but then I'm pampered If you choose the 1LE package, it already comes with MRC.

Yes, cylinder deactivation is used in the SS (not in the ZL1, btw), but it can easily be tuned out or as you said, defeated with the Range device, but of course you'll want a tune with power mods no matter what.
