Nearly 85k miles and still running strong! Minor mods, tuned for only 93 and I love it. It's doing a number on my back but I'm in the process of buying a new truck to rebuild my engine in the camaro and TT it.

Mine has been DD since day 1. Including in winter time. Cant complain..couldnt be happier. No Issues at all...just minor...AC blower was making a chirping noise and got replaced by gm warranty. It runs on premium all the time...highway I get around 700 kms in a single tank and city about 400 kms....of course..if you drive it easy... I treat her once a year with Krown rust proof, and wax every 6 week. Still looks and drives like a charm...

6.2 does NOT require premium. It will run just fine on regular.

Please keep it coming guys, I have the same exact questions as the OP.
My biggest concern is which transmission is the most reliable and if there is any known Issues with the standard against automatic? |

Only if you consider reduced performance and lower gas mileage due to retarded timing to be "just fine". The difference between the high and low octane spark advance tables is huge. Why would you ever shell out for the SS if you're going to cripple it with cheap gas?

45,000 miles on my 1lt/RS and it still feels showroom tight. My daily round trip is 60 miles. Stock RS/SS tires wear out too quick and pick up too many rocks and sling them at the car for a daily driver so I went with the General Gmax for replacement and they even resist hydroplaning so much better - this type of a tire is a must have for a daily driver IMO. Average MPG on the DIC since owning the car is still at 23.4 and that's even hitting tripple digits here and there. The first few weeks I babied the car and was at 26.8MPG average. I hit the advertised 28MPG no problem when taking it easy on the highway using the torque app. I use premium gas for piece of mind that I'm getting the most out of the engine (I also went to Mobile1 full synthetic oil). Main complaints - Paint chips and scratches too easy and AC isn't as strong compared to other vehicles I've owned but I like everything else better.
Must haves for daily driver Camaros:
