Why BUY a 2021 Camaro ZL1 1LE instead of a C8 Corvette or Shelby GT500?

I have wanted a ZL1 1LE since when they first came out! The Challengers and the Mustangs are great cars, but there's something special, classy and refined about this Camaro! I have vicariously enjoyed this experience of yours through this video! I have loved cars since I was 5 years old and all of my female friends think I'm crazy, but why can't a woman be a "Car Guy" too? I've heard that GM is going to be discontinuing the Cadillac that shares the same platform with the Camaro, so with there being only one car on the platform and it not selling very well, they probably will get rid of the Camaro! Hopefully, they will bring it back as an EV, which will be better than nothing. I hope you continue to enjoy this car indefinitely! You should probably never get rid of it! Ever!
