The 6th generation Camaro, introduced for 2016, represented a major step forward by moving to GM's Alpha platform. This chassis, shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS, gave the Camaro much sharper handling and a lighter curb weight than its predecessor, allowing it to compete with sports cars, not just other muscle cars. The powertrain lineup was broad, starting with a 2.0L turbo-four, a 3.6L V6, the 455 hp LT1 V8 in the SS, and topping out with the 650 hp supercharged LT4 V8 in the ZL1.
Collectors have focused on the high-performance models, particularly the ZL1 and the track-oriented ZL1 1LE. These cars offer supercar-level performance for a fraction of the price. With production ending in 2024, the final Panther-themed Collector's Edition models are also poised for future collectibility, especially the 350 ZL1 examples built for North America. As a modern and capable platform, it has also found a home with tuners and track day enthusiasts.
The market for the 6th gen Camaro is still maturing. Early, lower-spec models continue to depreciate and represent a strong performance value. However, desirable, low-mileage ZL1s and special editions command high prices and are holding their value well. With an average sale price over $61,000, it's clear the enthusiast market is skewed toward the V8-powered SS and ZL1 variants.
Buying Tips
- Check for transmission shudder in cars equipped with the 8-speed automatic, a known issue that was addressed with fluid changes or torque converter replacements.
- Outward visibility, especially from the rear, is notoriously poor. Make sure you are comfortable with the limited sightlines during a test drive.
- The ZL1 1LE's DSSV spool-valve dampers provide incredible track performance but a very firm ride on the street. Be sure this fits your intended use.
- Inspect the electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) on SS 1LE and ZL1 models for any signs of leaks or noisy operation.
- Infotainment systems, particularly on early models, can be prone to glitches or screen delamination. Test all functions thoroughly.
Prices range widely from under $20,000 for early V6 models to over $260,000 for limited edition ZL1 variants.
