All Blackwings here are $40-$50k over sticker. The value goes out the window at that price.

They had a new ct4 blackwing in stock at like $70k sticker so it’s not that bad here.
i just realized I’m retarded and can’t use friends and family discounts on blackwings. CT5-v it is I guess

Keep getting lambasted what a good value track car camaros are, I just can't stand the zero visibility for daily driving.
After half the brand, plenty of videos had made me petty impressed with the Various black wing and similiar trims, but I should probably never sit in one and risk falling in love when the markups are extra absurd.
Been leaning more and more towards a PP pack 18+ gt stang with all the newer suspension and apparently really good 10 speed as much as I'd like to have a stick for my fun car, I'm also no pro and I'd be usually driving like a grand touring just highway commuting anyways.
Orr maybe I get lucky and the current gen gt500s track down with the other uses cars more than I expect and by next winter are maybe into the 50-60k range for like a 4 year old 40k mile example. Be nice to step back into something that feels like the F type without all the constant problems and fear of major repairs.
I wish I could quit loving cars, certainly can make the money go much further with guns and other hobbies.

Camaro visibility isn't the best, but the SS 1LE is a hell of a deal in the $40,000 range. Reliable, massive mod potential affordably. I'd take one over a Mustang, unless we're talking the GT350s.

At that price point I'd trust Enkei. Wheels and tires are not something anyone should be cheap about (same goes for brakes).

If you want more options for research from users of the products (less likely to be fluff PR bullshit), your best bet it to try an enthusiasts forum. If KIA doesn't have a very active enthusiast forum, you can try others, and use search for people's opinions on rim manufacturers. Maybe even stumble onto some trustworthy websites that often run sales.
Corvetteforum.com is the only one I am familiar with (know that it is active and pulled trustworthy advice from it), but BMW and Porsche both have a big forum as well....somewhere.
I used to frequent the Subaru Impresa forums for their version of the screenshots thread. It looks like it is still active and might have some good info:

We don't really have a specific thread for motorcycles do we? I'm in the market for a new ride, really torn, was wondering if anyone had suggestions.
I love the upright position and look of naked bikes. I've been considering:
BMW F900R (maybe an RnineT?)
KTM Duke 890
Triumph Trident 660
Maybe an Suzuki SV650, though I think I'd have to lean forward a bit for that one.
I'm 6'3 300lbs, my last bike was an LS650/Savage and it ran fine, but I'm looking for a twin cylinder minimum, I wouldn't have trusted the single on the highway though it had plenty of torque in it, and my bike before that was a Ducati Streetfighter 1098 and I didn't use half the power it had behind it.

We do but it's in a weird spot as is this one if you ask me.
I loved my Duke 390 but the ECU/Screen was not covered under warranty and cost as much as the bike so I noped the fuck out.

Euro bikes have big and frequent repair costs.
Skip Triumph. I had a new one. Something big was always wrong with it and I only put 3k miles on it.
Look at a Jap bike. Used on Craigslist...full of them. HD also...pretty cheap to cut your teeth on. Buy one with 12k miles on it for $5k. Drive it around for a while until you figure out what you want, sell it for what you paid for it. The LAST thing you want to do is buy new, put 3k miles on it over 5 years and sell it at a huge loss.
