Chevrolet killed the Camaro in 2024 with no confirmed replacement, so you're shopping a discontinued platform with uncertain parts support ahead. The 6th-gen V8 models, SS, LT1, ZL1, are holding value at shocking rates while V6 trims crater: one 2LT owner lost $10k in equity after just 8,000 miles. The engine choice matters more here than almost any other car on the market. If you want a modern muscle car with a future, the Mustang is still in production. If you want a V8 Camaro before they're gone, buy the SS or LT1 and skip the four- and six-cylinders entirely, those are the ones dealers can't give away.
This twin-turbo V6 coupe delivers 400 horsepower and head-turning retro styling for less than a loaded Camry costs, a genuine performance bargain that embarrasses the Supra on price. The driving experience is engaging and surprisingly livable for daily use, with strong aftermarket support for those chasing more power. The tradeoff: an interior that feels lifted from 2009, a notchy manual shifter that demands commitment, and the reality that you're buying a heavily refreshed 370Z platform, not a clean-sheet design. Early dealer greed and a resolved transmission stop-sale left some scars, but the mechanicals are solid. Buy this if you want analog thrills and heritage on a budget; skip it if you need modern refinement or cutting-edge tech.
