I own a Gen5 SS that's 12 years old and I'm seriously considering the Gen6 V6. I think the performance would be more than adequate. But if I ever get to order one, I wouldn't spec it like the Redline in the review. Ir would be 3LT trim for the leather seats and technology, RS for the exterior looks, and Brembos in the front. The Redline package doesn't have enough red details inside, as you pointed out, Joe. Love your enthusiasm and insights in all your reviews, man!

I used to have a 2016 Camaro RS with a V6, NPP and Brembos. I loved it so much and this is coming from a prior Toyota and Lexus owner, which I didn't always like those cars. I was going to grab a ZL1 until the problems started. The NPP rattled so much, the cylinder deactivation failed two times (solenoids) and had to be replaced, the thermostat failed and had to be replaced, the transmission failed and was rebuilt, and the cars infotainment would randomly restart. When it worked, it was 👌. I finally sold it and bought a Polestar 2.
