Most people aren't shopping for a 2SS, and frankly they probably weren't shopping for the 3LT (i.e. the I4/V6 models with blind sport monitoring). The fully loaded I4/V6 models were close to the 1SS and LT1 in price, so many people would just go for the base V8s. Which leads them back to the problem of no blind spot monitoring.

If you download the data on this website that contains every 2020-2024 model year car built you’ll see that SLIGHTLY more people bought V8’s versus I4/V6. I don’t have what percentages are 1SS/LT1 (no blind spot) versus 2SS/ZL1 but I always found it interesting that the Camaro sold more V8’s than I4/V6’s.
I know that’s the opposite for the Mustang and I suspect it’s because the Mustang appealed more to the casual sports car buyer versus the hardcore performance buyer who was willing to overlook the Camaros significant short comings at being an actual car.
