Exotics are built in a variety of these segments to be the ultimate in style, luxury, or performance.
For me, the Camaro is among ultimate production sports cars. Those that are substantially faster than it don't belong in the sports car category because they are designed to be exotic. The GT-R is not a regular sports car. It is an exotic sports car. The price and style forget the function of being a sporty car and fill a higher role, usually being a status symbol. Is the Camaro a status symbol? If so, then you might argue that it fits this description as well, making it a member of the elite exotic sports cars, and thus an ultimate sports car.
I would describe the Camaro as the ultimate, affordable sports car. It performs with refined handling that can be used both on a track and on a street. It has function and form. It has available technology and style that puts it on the same page as Porsches with a price point that keeps it in comparison articles with Mustangs.
Is it really that drivable? :seesaw:

Well, using your definition the I would have to say the 2010 GT500 by far. It gives one exotic power, world class fit and finish, great interiors, with high options all while looking cool and handling well. All for under $50k. What more could one ask for.
