I'm glad I got the V6!

When I bought my Fifth Generation Camaro I was really on the fence about getting the SS. Now that I've owned it for more than two years, I am glad that I got the V6! If I buy a Sixth Generation, I think I'm going to keep the Fifth generation! Is anyone else planning on purchasing a Sixth Generation Camaro? Will you be keeping a Fifth generation? Which engine/trim are you most interested in? What do you think about an awd Camaro?

I hadn't even thought about the 50th edition. I like the interior on the 6th better than the 5th. But, tossing 40 mods and getting peanuts for my existing ride doesn't make any sense. Maybe in '25...

I will most certainly be getting a gen 6 Camaro. If I can't wait til a ZL1 type version comes out then I will keep my current ZL1. After all, I went through hell and back to get it.

I will be keeping my 5th Gen as my daily driver as I still have to get back and forth to work. And at 30 MPG on the highway why get anything else. So for sure I will be keeping it.

As for the 6th Gen. YES, I will be getting a 50th anniversary. Been talking about this one for over a year now. Just a matter of will I like the 50th package, or order a 2017 and make my own 50 the package. Defiantly will be a V8, still need to decide on the trans. Keep go back and forth on this one. Along with decide the color. I know what colors I will not be getting. Then there is the do I send it out for some work like headers, CAI, Tune, etc. Or wait. Then Wheels and tires will be changed almost immediately. AS I will create the Camaro I want very quickly. Not the years I took to build my 5th Gen. Lastly this will be a garage queen and driven approx. 3K miles a year so when I retire 8 years later, it will have less than 25K miles on it. That is the plan anyway.

Sounds like a great plan! Yeah i would love to keep my fifth gen - and buy a 6th gen SS or ZL1 in about 2 years, before i retire. I would make the 5th gen my daily driver, and my 6th my garage queen as well. I like your plan
