GT350 and Camaro SS 1LE, along with a C7 Grand Sport are top of the wish list for me. There is something magical about a good, simple NA V8.

I know Camaro 1LE is the odd ball here, not looking as good and with poor visibility. But it matches the GT350 non-R lap times, cost $10k less than the GT350 and is far more available. Plus it has a reliable Corvette engine and Tremec 6-speed manual. So lately I've been gravitating this way more.
From what I've read it sounds like the Camaro is a really great handling car and a better value than competitors. While I'm not a fan of the looks - mainly the recent refresh which is rumored to be quickly fixed soon - I have always wanted to drive one, especially the ZL1 with the LT4 6.2L Supercharged V8, I fell in love with that engine in the CTS-V.
