I have wanted a 2015 Camaro Z28 for a while because it is the last of the and best of the breed. There won't be any new large displacement naturally aspirated V8 track cars built ever again similar to the E90 M3 and high revving naturally aspirated V8's. Unfortunately the G80 only appeals to me as a commuter car to hit on ramps on the way to customer appointments. As a fun car I will spend my money on a stripped 718 GT4 or something similar.
It is crazy to me that BMW has lost its appeal in many ways. The cars are simply too big, too heavy and funny enough, too competent. They are pretty boring to drive unless you are doing stupid speeds for the street.

Too fast for the street yet too cushy for the track. Interesting dichotomy
