Not sure what point you are trying to make about brakes, I'm not saying anyone needs them or the cooling. I would suspect that most people buying the V6 indeed don't care about having them, or they would probably want the 1LE. Same with the SS suspension. Almost every LT I see has the RS package, so obviously that one is popular. There are threads regularly about adding the 8" displays and currently there is no way to add the 8" DIC via the aftermarket. Those two options definitely add some value in the V6 vs V8 debate.
Again my whole point is 1LS to 1SS is not apples to apples. Would comparing a 2LT with no options to 2LT with all packages be apples to apples? No it wouldn't. The whole basis of your argument is using a "base" car to a higher trim with more standard features and a different engine is $10K more. Sure it is, but there is also almost $3K in extras that 1SS has excluding brakes, cooling, bigger performance tires, sport suspension, +120HP/171ft lbs of TQ (and a LSD for autos which you can't get anyway else).
So if the RS and dual 8" displays means anything to a potential buyer, then I can see why they would say $10K for a V8...no way. But if they do care about those extras, it's more like $6K and change.
Also the OP of this thread was a US buyer, so while CDN prices explain your rationale, they aren't relevant to him. It sucks how pricing is that different for Canadian buyers considering how many Camaros have been built over the years up there.

All right brother fair enough no hard feelings from me. I do wish they had a cheaper V8 option as well. It's crazy because I put up at $6,500 worth of options on to my car to get it how I want it. If I would have bought an SS I would have still had to pay about $4,500 on top of the 10,000 MSRP difference to get it looking like my current one LS. I could have saved $2,000 on the RS package what I would have still had to pay $500 for the hyper blue I would have still had to pay $1,000 for the Dual mode I would have had to pay something correct me if I'm wrong for the Bose stereo because I have the full eight speaker and I believe the 1ss has 5 is that true or am I off on that?
I guess I would have saved the $1,600 on the V6 as well but I would have had to pay that in the extra tax on the extra ten Grand I would have to pay to get into a V8.
I guess all I'm trying to say is to me the V8 was just out of my price range and it was shockingly expensive considering the Camaro was supposed to be the every man's sports car.
Luckily they made the V6 good enough for the average Joe.
