Not one of my three vehicles has four doors, unless one counts the hidden,
short doors on my extended-cab F150.
I've hated four doors since my teens.

I've looked at those a bit. I like to hear my car so not sure on the Plaid.

That is not true at all.. My Tesla Y is 'more connected' than my BMW 4 Series.

Forget about the 4-people thing. Just get a "final year" Camaro with the performance package.

"Seats four people comfortably mid-life crisis car" is an oxymoronic phrase.

Yeah it probably is. 4 seats comfortably isn't a true necessity. Just trying

The Cadillac CT5-V & CT5-V Blackwing are 4 door with the same engine as Camaro

That CTV-5 engine (6.2l L9H or LSA IIRC) is a desirable motor to have in a car.

I pulled the info for the 2024 model directly from the Cadillac website

That makes sense. I looked at the Gen IV motor specs. The 2024 version would be Gen V. Thanks for the info.
