Congrats, this is quite the graduation gift
Hope you'll be able to enjoy this beauty a lot longer. I sat in one of these 2018 HW editions and it's full of these small special touches, it's a really great looking unit.
Re your list of minor shortcomings,
#1 is fixable in a
spectacularly close-to-OEM way,
#2 you can tangibly improve by upgrading to 1LE wheels and better tires,
#3 is true, the Vette is lighter, but of course you have options,
#4 I'm not sure about, a Hot Wheels Camaro is much more rare,
#5 I don't understand, the Camaro also has electric power steering that can be configured via drive modes or manually, and
#6 bringing up visibility vs a Corvette, no less, is ultra moot
(...that license plate frame tho 
)
