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 )
sorry about #5, what I meant was the power tilt steering column, which in the camaro, you have to pull a lever and then adjust the position, which i think cannot be saved into the driver memory settings? Just like to nitpick . Although, whenever you give your car away for service or at the tire shop and someone else drives it and changes your setttings for the seat + mirrors + steering column, thats the only scenario where it would be helpful! Also thank you!! The small attention to detail in the HW edition is awesome! The orange stitching everywhere combined with the Suede/Alcantara inserts!!
