For those (mainly us millennials) money is an object and when you want best bang for buck the 5.0 A10 is the ticket as of now. Ok think about it, why is it the best selling by far out of the 3? They have their issues with the crappy mt82 manual transmission and most everyone knows to run from those (any year) but the 6r80's overall are pretty stout. The looks are subjective and I won't comment there (some might like the look better, others might hate it). I personally prefer the look of the ss to the 5.0. As for the pp yes those are not all that at all. On a track setting the ss is clearly the better car. I'm talking a poor mans fun car brand new straight line performance on a budget. They love boost and trump anything in it's class for less $. I am simply stating the obvious and drive mainly all gm cars except my 2018 f150 4x4 so there is zero bias here.

That's your opinion. Off the line and for everyday driving on the street, the Camaro SS is the quicker car 9/10 times. Even in the quarter it's pretty much a wash.
My point was, the Camaro is worth the extra. And BTW, you can get a Camaro SS for 30-35k. I paid around 35k for mine. So it's not like you're breaking the bank for the extras that come with the base SS. Having extra cooling, a better transmission and a more reliable motor is more than worth it. If that's too much for the 'poor' man then he's certainly biting more than he can chew.
I've said it many times here. Bolting on a Supercharger or Turbo to ANY car and calling it a day to save money is doing it WRONG.
