I've decided to buy a mid optioned V6 camaro in the near future for a work daily driver. I realize it's speculation only at this point but in say dec and jan once 16's hit the lots how much of a deal or off MSRP could one expect to get on a run of the mill V6 auto Gen 5 car.

They are already offering ridiculous deals depending on your location. And they will continue to offer even better deals once the gen 6s are actually in dealer showrooms. My 1LE stickered for 47k and I got it for 35.5k. I wouldn't expect everyone to be able to find deals like that but that may help put in in perspective. I'm seeing lots of 5th gens in my area priced anywhere from 3k to 10k below MSRP.

im seeing some decent discounts on 5th gens but not on anything i want.

I'm after a comfy sporty hour and half drive one way to work commuter for as reasonable as I can get and a new v6 runs almost better than my stock 97 LT1 did.

With that as the criteria should I wait for a gen 6 and pay more or try to find as good a deal as I can on a mid optioned v6 gen 5 and run with it. It'd be awesome to have newest and coolest but it's not really a necessity of mine. Just after a nice car.

If you were going to get a gen 6 for a daily commuter I'd honestly opt for the turbo 4... I work at a GM dealer so I see a lot of both engines and I think the turbo 4 is better and more trustworthy. If you don't want to wait, or if you dont want a 4 banger Camaro then the gen 5 V6 will be good and you can get a great deal on it.

Get an SS the difference in real world MPG is insignificant between the 6 and the 8.

SS would be nice but for a work commuter the price gap and insurance gap is entirely too much to justify unfortunately. I have my TA for going fast.

I had a 2015 V6 Camaro but later traded it in on a 2015 SS, same trans and options, so the gas mileage was not effected by "add ons" and driving the same roads (equal amounts of city & highway) there was only about 2.5 miles per gallon difference between the V6 & V8. On the longer (45 miles +) trips the V8 actually gets 23+ mpg on the highway, I'm not sure how much better the "long highway" trips would be. When I bought my V6 it was with the same logic as you mentioned, that being the HP of the V6 Camaro was better then my 96 Vette LT1 but the performance did not come close to the LT1. While the V6 may be what you expect, don't shortchange the V8 in the SS, by the way both my cars were A6 automatics.

My trip will be a hour n half one way straight open highway 75 mph speed limit before hitting area where traffic begins. So at least 3 hours a day straight uninterrupted cruise time.

keep looking if youre serious. i found what i wanted. i searched all dealers within 50 miles. if youre willing to travel even better.

it took some negotiating but i got a satisfactory deal. gm is offering 0% plus other rebates and incentives.


just be patient and youll find what you want.

i ******* love it! its not the fastest car but it looks awesome and the handling is impressive as you know!

that npp exhaust imo needs no changing. it sounds badass! once i take ride i cant get enough. its such a fun car.


BTW,if youre still looking theres some great deals on v6s. at least where i bought mine theyre taking 5-6k off and im sure you can get them down more.

Yep the NPP is awesome. I kept it and am running my headers into the stock NPP and it sounds absolutely amazing. My one and only thing I wish was different is that they should have given the 1LE a slight power bump, like they did with the Boss 302 (even though the 1LE still puts down faster laps on the road course ). Something like 450bhp would've been perfect.

I really want to find one with the NPP exhaust even though it's a 6. It may not alway's be a 6 once it's DD duties have expired in 3-4 years.

can you get that option with a 6 cyl? if not im sure you could add it later but i wonder if it would sound as good or how it would sound.

01WS6/tamu

It will stay corked up 99% of the time. I'll add this caveat you can build a 6 cyl with NPP on gm's website at least so maybe maybe not is the question?
