Just don't get a super sleek sports car. No one needs to see a 50+ yr old
trying to climb out of one of those.

I've looked at those a bit. I like to hear my car so not sure on the Plaid.

What’s your budget? Or are you wishfully thinking?

That is not true at all.. My Tesla Y is 'more connected' than my BMW 4 Series.

Forget about the 4-people thing. Just get a "final year" Camaro with the performance package.

"Seats four people comfortably mid-life crisis car" is an oxymoronic phrase.

Yeah it probably is. 4 seats comfortably isn't a true necessity. Just trying

The Cadillac CT5-V & CT5-V Blackwing are 4 door with the same engine as Camaro

That CTV-5 engine (6.2l L9H or LSA IIRC) is a desirable motor to have in a car.

I pulled the info for the 2024 model directly from the Cadillac website

That makes sense. I looked at the Gen IV motor specs. The 2024 version would be Gen V. Thanks for the info.

That one is one my short list.

This is the correct choice, M3 or M5 (M5 better meets the 4 person criteria)

on a sheer horsepower & torque basis, it is very tough to beat the S and RS Audi
