I hate talking down to another Camaro but I also debated on which generation to get as a cash buyer. I'm not a fan of the 6th gen. I bought the Gen 5 and modded it to handle better and go faster than a Gen 6 SS.
Gen 6 just doesn't know what it wants to be styling wise. It's not as fun to drive as a gen 5. It's cramped inside and frankly extremely plain. Gen 5 has character inside and out.
As the 6th and 5th gen age, it will be glaringly obvious that the 5th gen is the more simple and reliable platform. LS3 is possibly the most bulletproof performance engine of all time. Direct injection LT1 isn't an engine I'd want to keep long term. The only thing I like about gen 6 is the lightened alpha platform. Otherwise, every single comparison makes me prefer a 5th gen.
Also, pre face-lift Gen 5 SS/ZL1 has road presence that a similar trim Gen 6 can't match.
