We just bought our latest Camaro. My good friend and mechanic of 30 years strongly advised against the V-6, so we only looked at the SS models. I drove an '11 and liked it ok, but ended up with a '14. We both really liked the refreshed looks and the info screen with the backup camera. Plus, the '14 still has some factory power train warranty left.
My wife and I are 60ish and it's been a few years since we've owned a sporty car. We REALLY like this Camaro. Definitely the fastest thing we've ever owned. It's a 3rd vehicle for us (Suburban Z/71 and Tacoma TRD Off Road) and will be driven occasionally to work, but mostly just a weekend toy. '74 Camaro Sport Coupe, '79 Z/28, '91 RS, '86 Mustang GT, '79 Corvette L48, '79 Corvette L82 |

If you truly want/need a V6, the 6th Gen would probably be a cheaper payment.....

i guess it would be foolish to drive 5th and 6th gens,v-6 and v-8,and decide what suits you best,but thats what i did.wound up with a 2015 v-6 RS.it has all the toys and is as fast as i need it to be.now if youre gonna race every night,get the v-8.if youre only going to put your foot in it once in a while the six is fine.

2013 & up V6 is fine; better priced tires, regular gas & milage, and cheaper insurance. Go with your gut. The gearheads here won't pony up $$ for your ride so get what suits you.

I am not into the V8 - V6 war. That is fine for kids, but tends to get stupidly expensive. And as mentioned by another, I don't see anyone forking over the difference in cost. This was supposed to be about V6s. Hell, if I was serious about power and speed, I would get a Hellcat. Thanks for steering me away from the 2010 I nearly bought. That would have been trouble. I did get a 2013 manual LT, and she is just perfect. Okay Mister Moderator. You can lock this one up. thanks, JKHolman
