Just a suggestion, but there are so many almost new lifts available from new car dealers for various reasons you may want to explore your options there. We just picked up two lifts for next to nothing.
Agree totally with the floor requirements. I picked up a used 2-post Mowhawk offset lift and the first order of business was to cut a 5' x 15' x 14"deep hole in the garage floor and pour a new reinforced doweled concrete slab to support the lift. As a civil engineer, stability of the floor supporting the lift is "THE" critical component. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the required support system. That goes for both two post and four post lifts. Be safe and do it right, I would hate to see any of those Camaros dropped off a lift due to a failed floor / anchor bolt, or worse, a Camaro5 member under them.

I just noticed these the other day. 1:18 diecast 4 post lift (they have 2 post also). The least expensive I've found has been right on Summit's web page.
Already added one to the cart for my next order.
