Camaro ZL1 Financing Question

I am curious to find out if this deal makes sense. I know ultimately it is my money and my decision but CL has never directed me to the wrong place before when it comes to cars so doing the same again.
I am really tired of the Camry and need to ignite my car passion and this is ONLY car that is doing it for me right now due to its LOOKS and POWER
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Now....I'm not saying don't do it. I personally think that there are better ways to address a mid-life crisis (if you are in that age-group). But, as Josh (ArmyofOne) says, if you are sure this is the car you want, and can afford the payment, go for it. But just think about what you're actually buying before you do.

Thanks all for the comments. Few thoughts.
-I appreciate the concerns but I am in complete clarity of Down payment vs Trade Value (KBB or not) vs loan terms etc.
-I should be ashamed of my self if i buy something out of my means. Not sure why ppl put themselves in debt for pleasure. Not the case. I can afford this thing like the MB now and cpl of Lexuses before.
I guess the goal of the post of was to get some feedback on the cost of the car, dealer tactics, options available and opinions etc.
Parting picture... (not mine but damn I love this sinister look (sorry Mustang dude)
If it is meant to be...it'll be mine.
Thanks all.

I do appreciate the comments though. As a complete 180, I will be visiting the BMW dealership to check out the 5 series M sport today.
Thanks.

I agree with mmarshall. My wife wanted to buy one of these so bad, not the ZL1 but SS. So I rented one for her to drive on a weekend getaway to the mountains. After the first hour of driving, she almost ran into 2-3 cars on the passenger side since the visibility/blind spots are probably the worst I have ever encountered in my driving days. Needless to say, I drove the car the rest of the weekend and myself while just merging lanes almost ran into a truck that was right along side of me. I didn't even see it. Personally, I think the entire passenger side of that car is a blind spot. I won't even talk about how fun they are to back up in tight areas. Yea, they look cool, but I hated it. Also the interior is really bland IMO. When I got back in my IS350, I realized how good our cars are for visibility purposes. My wife hasn't mentioned a Camaro since. Good luck with your decision.

Anyhow, I'm glad you've been successful in life, and can enjoy some fruits of your labor.

I don't know if their attitudes are changing or not, but we just completed shopping for a new car, we were in a minimum of two each Audi, BMW and MB dealerships during the search.
I have to say that we didn't have a bad experience in any of them. The sales reps we dealt with were knowledgeable, accomodating and cordial. My wife, who hates to car shop was comfortable in each. Were we lucky? Probably, but it was a positive experience.
