First off "just buy a Civic" would NEVER come out of my mouth
The Camaro seems like a total obvious choice to me. You say that you don't really need a car and that it would primarily only be for weekend fun, so why worry too much about a few "gremlins" if it's a car that's not "needed"?
Financially it looks like the smart choice too. You're not paying for storage back east, your insurance isn't going to kill you like with the other cars, any needed repairs will be reasonable on the pocket and you'll get to enjoy your car. You could probably do all your needed upgrades for the price you said the insurance would cost you, for just one year, on one of the other cars
When I was 24, I had three sports cars and probably 50% of my income just went to insurance, car payments and upkeep but it was all worth it to me, and not once did I think that buying an import was "the right thing to do"
Just my opinion, probably not a good one, but that's what I would do.
