I am in the exact same boat. I want a nice weekend mountain carver to mess around with and go to AutoX/track days with friends. Not daily. I daily my MK7 GTI.

I've been trying to get my hands on a V6 for a while now. Obviously I'm looking full time for a used 1le v6 but I also just gave another dealer (3rd dealer actually) my build summary.

I also go back a fourth on break upgrades (4piston vs 6 piston). Honestly, for a V6 camaro staying below $34k is ideal. So configurating a build with the $3k break option eats up a lot of that budget.

I tend to build my V6 like this:
1LT manual
RS (you get the wheels that fit both break options)
Dual exhaust
4piston breaks and oil cooler
Front lip aero
tech pk
Swede interior
$34,075

or

1LT V6 manual
6 piston break (fits with those ugly base wheels) but then get Apex Sm10's ($2500)
Satin Black appearance package- you get a small rear lip and black mirrors
Swade interior
Tech Pk.
$34,025

One opinion I do have to share- The breaking system on my 2019 STI was PHENOMINAL. We all tend to get caught up on handling, power, speed, accelerating, whatever, but experiencing a VERY good breaking system is also very cool.

I'm constantly changing my mind...but its fun. lol
