			I'm going to agree with you. 
Considering the price and the fact that bolt-ons would get you close in terms of speed (not power since the 6th gen is heavy) with a Stingray.
 
Sure you would lose the back seats - not an issue for most buyers.

 |  lol, I rarely get that chance since I'm a service advisor.  On the off chance I do drive a customer's car I don't mess around.  If it's our car, well...then it's our car lol.  I don't like driving customer's cars, too much liability but I will if they ask me to, especially my Camaro and Corvette customes.  I had a customer with a 2012 C6 with an Eforce supercharger on it, had a rattle on the driver's side, insisted I drive it....who am I to deny a customer's request?      
Here's a driving clip of the ZL1.   I'm now taking bids on my blood, sperm and right side kidney.  All offers will be considered.

			The zl1 is really nice.  
 I also checked out and sat in a regular 2016 Camaro. I had been considering getting one when my 2014 lease is up in February.  However there is even less room in the back seat and not even one babyseat would fit nevertheless two. So that option is out.
 
 I also checked out the ats-v. They had a sedan and coupe. The sedan would fit two babyseats. But stars at 65k. **Sigh**
 So ill be shopping for a gen 2 cts-V i guess.

			How is the visibility out of a 6th gen compared to a 5th gen?

			I was surprised how comfortable the front seats of the 6th gen were. The interior is quite nice.

			Yes. The interior feels like a completely different car compared to my '14. 
 I didn't consider the visibility much since i was so disappointed by the lack of space in the back but nothing stood out compared to my car. Side doors and windows seemed similar and windshield was close to the same low line. I did notice the back window seemed small though. Hard to tell real visibility with people standing all around the car.

			6th gen felt the same as a 5th gen, only with a smaller back seat, but I feel that due to the smaller size, I know where the ends of the car are better than the 5th gen.

			I watched the video earlier and it's unbelievable that they didn't make one mention about the difference in tires. The M4 has Michelin Pilot Super Sports and the Camaro has runflats. I know they wanted to show how similar the numbers are, but they should have at least pointed out that with if the M4 didn't have such expensive, sticky tires, the match wouldn't have been so close.

			I hope they keep dragging that roofline back into a hatch for the next generation model. They're getting there with the styling but still too much 5th gen look in the front end. They cleaned up the back end to the point that I actually like the rear view now....but that front needs work.
