Torn between V8's. In a dilemma.

So.., here's how the story goes..

After living in the US for 4 years now, driving a V6 Ford Taurus.. I need to get back to proper driving and enjoying it.
Not necessarily track days or drag, but the enjoyment of actually driving and being out with some power under the pedal. The car will be a daily driver although not a great number of miles..
I sold my TVR prior to moving to North Carolina.

We have tried all the offerings: Mrs Bridgdav must also be able to drive it..!

Mustang., 2014 and earlier.. Really not a fan of the looks or the cabin feel.
Charger, current and previous model.. Like the looks, styling and grunt from the SRT.. But only Auto
Challenger.. Was the favored choice until an extended test which convinced me it was more Boatlike than a sports Coupe
Camaro.. Like the 2SS, the Looks, Manual, driving position, Comfort, driving feel etc.. #1 choice at the moment
Corvette.. My choice of the ultimate US drivers car (due to budget 2006-2008 model).. Not great for the Wife - What is a Vete like as a daily driver.
2015 Mustang GT.. gorgeous looks, proven engine, great feel and ride.. Would be the choice but Budget doesn't allow

I have upto $30k, cash purchase, so have a little haggle room..

I have checked out most of the U.S. owners websites, but they follow a similar format, where a posting will get a few hundred views and 3 replies.

Where can I start to get constructive help and advice..?
Should I stick with dealers, Carmax etc..?
US is a big place, would I really be limiting myself to my choice by only searching NC,VA,SC..?
We are in No Rush, so should I wait a while for the latest new release models to drive the price down of the 2012/2013..?offerings..?

TIA..

After many weeks and perhaps months of procrastination.. I took a Mustang Gt Premium with full sports pack out today.
Although the Vette would be my #1 choice for a weekend car, the mustang has that daily driver feel as well as the fun factor.

I've been working in Mexico for the last several weeks, which has curtailed new car buying. Hopefully following my next trip to Mexico, the spec and particular car will be ordered.

Was very impressed with the Mustang, freightened the sales guy a little. Hey ho.

So... I bought a 2015 New Mustang.

Black, GT Premium 5.0 V8, 435 BHP. GT performance package, extra security pack, shaker pro sound system, adaptive cruise, 50th anniversary spec, full system Navigation, blind spot safety system...

To name a few extra options. Get it in 3 weeks.

Best day after birthday present ever...
