The other dilemma I'm having is that I am absolutely in LOVE (borderline obsessed) with the sound of a great V8. I know the V6 Camaro is a real performer and has the sporty sound, but it's just not gonna have the V8 rumble I crave.

So my question is, with a low mileage G8 GT and a new RS Camaro at about the same price point, what would you choose?

Should I go with the manual transmission and not get the V8 feel, or go V8 with the G8 and lose the connection of a manual transmission?
Go with the G8 GT, has plenty of grunt. And when you want more you can get more out of a 6.0.
