Sorry for long post, but it requires a bit of explanation...
We looked at:
Jag F type V8
Corvette
Porsche 911
Boxster
We had a Nissan 350 convertible. We loved it, wanted another convertible, but wanted something easier to live with - something I could autocross and track plus take away for the weekend. Jag was awesome, but expensive, and the trunk make it totally impossible to live with. Vette nice, but we felt would be hard to live with. Porsche was great but expensive, and the operating costs (tires, oil changes, etc) made it way way too expensive to really use it the way we wanted. But the 911 got us thinking of the merits of a backseat on a convertible. On the drive home we stopped to look at the Camaro. We were both blown away, loved the interior, the sound, the drive. Did some research, realized this wasn't just a muscle car anymore, went back and drove it again and we were both blown away at the drive and the value. Really nothing else that has back seat that performs like this car and looks as good and is "reasonable money". We went with 2ss with magnetic ride, performance exhaust, etc. Car has been absolutely awesome, livable day to day, great for weekend get aways, reasonable to operate, etc.
