Vette is mid engine. How about a 350 hp Fiero style Camaro, Just for a generation of course.

You might want to get your info straight before spouting nonsense. The Holden Commodore was sold in the US for the '14-'17 model years as a limited production import under the Chevy badge with a sales goal of only 2,000 a year in order to fulfill a contractual obligation. So GM didn't really care if the SS sold well or not here. Every year, it exceeded it's sales goal and most of them was sold before they even hit the lots.

If your main complaint is the price, remember the 2016 Camaro SS started at $42,275. So at $4,000 more, the SS was selling sight unseen, before they even entered the country where as the Camaro SS had to sit around on lots and be discounted before people bought them. So when you actually think about it, the SS sold better and was in more demand the Camaro SS

And don’t forget the Holden Commodore was also sold in the US as the Pontiac G8 GT and GXP prior to the Chevy SS.

Values of the Chevy SS sedan have been holding up well also, which indicates to me there is some demand for a V8 manual transmission sedan. The values aren't in the stratosphere, but it has held value much better than a typical used car.

I'm not a sedan buyer, but I agree there is a market.

As are the Pontiac G8 GXPs. G8 GTs not so much.

All are, in good condition with low miles, commanding close to original sticker.
