I'm right there with you. I had a couple 4th gen z28s and loved them. Of course this V6 is just as fast and so much nicer - better handling - much more refined. I love it. I live in the city and my average speed in the car is 17 mph (according to the computer). I love the sound at full throttle around 5000 rpm's and do a full throttle 2nd & 3rd gear pull pretty much every day on an onramp. Definitely a fun and fast car.

BUT! I miss the torque of a V8. The V6 just doesn't plant you in your seat the way a V8 does. It isn't violent acceleration. It's a more linear power application.

So I'm right there with you. I kind of wish I had the V8. But, I'm also completely satisfied with this car the way it is. I know that I have no need for the V8 - especially in my daily driver. Unsure what I will do long term, but for now I'm going to enjoy this car.

I really love the hyper blue and the garnet red as well. So the only solution I can see at this point would be to get 2 more camaro's.
