Once you've graduated and you have your degree in your pocket along with having secured a stable, good paying job / career, buy your car. Leasing is not a good idea unless you can write it off on your taxes or your company pays for it. You'll be paying "PREMIUM" on a HWSE. The price you quoted is in the range of an SS Coupe or a 2LT Convertible.
Many forum members, including myself, have their Camaros paid off. Some have busted their ass working and putting every penny towards their payments, others have either saved for many years (or inherited money or won the lottery) in order to pay for their "dream car". Many others are going the traditional way of making monthly payments to pay off their Camaro.
Stick with what you currently have and don't become a "slave" to a car payment. Try to enjoy your collegiate years as much and as best you can. There are more important things in life than driving a nice or "bad ass" car. I can hear the stories now...
Your education will take you further by helping to ensure you'll have a decent, steady source of income from the time you begin your career into your retirement years...then you can piss your money away.
