Then last year I jumped into a Kia k5 because I didn't want to pay premium gas prices.. then ended up getting bored didn't like it as much as I thought and jumped into a Stinger.

From there I had so many issues that I somehow ended up with a Forte GT.. As fun as the car is to drive, I am not as happy as I was in a Camaro.

For the Camaro, will a 4 cylinder be fun? or should I just jump into a v6? or say **** it and jump into a V8 and then get all weather tires on it?

Also, Ive been playing around with the build on the site and cannot decide on a colour.. helpppp. I'm between White, Black, Wild cherry, Rapid Blue or Orange.. but then again I have no idea what will be available for 2023.

Can I get some opinions?

I know I'm gonna lose a lot of money on the Forte, which is gonna suck, but oh well.
The I4 and the V6 are fun, but they can't hold a candle to the V8, and I'm sure deep down you are aware of that (btw I had a 6th gen with a V6 before my current car).

It's impossible to know what is truly important to you, but if not having to run premium gas is a priority, you have only one engine choice.

All that said, the LGX is a great engine with a higher redline and plenty of power, it isn't some anemic 1-liter four-banger turbocharged to the moon for 150 hp, so if I were you, I'd test drive that and a V8, then make a decision.
