This one has the stripe and light gray interior. Also has a manual. Even though I did say I was impressed with the brown, I think I like this better.

This dealership also had 2 RS’s and a base model, all with the 2.0 turbo 4.

The turbo-4 selling?

I can’t help but feel like I wouldn’t buy this car WITHOUT a V8.

That's because you are an enthusiast. Most Camaro sales are about fashion/status.

But the V8 is $38,000. The Turbo-4 is like $25k

Such as? As far as new is concerned there aren’t all that many options at its price point for its performance. Mustang Ecoboost, but it starts at a higher price and has less standard features. BRZ and Miata are much smaller and have a lot less power. Aaaaand that’s about it.

I’d probably look at some used cars. A Camaro 1LT starts 26,695 and has a 5.4-second 0-60.

GTI is $1k less and does it in 5.8 with a far more practical package.

A manual WRX starts at $26k and does it in 5.1S - again with a more practical car around it.

Yes, none of those are 2 door muscle cars, but someone looking at 4 banger muscle car is probably going to include some weird things in their car search.
