Opinions also on the LT1? Also would prefer a auto for a daily as my ZLE is a 6 speed. Looking for a affordable option. The C5 has been very dependable but driving a older car that far every week is asking for trouble.

It's not crazy at all to have 2 Camaro's, one for every day and one for fun.
I've got a 2019 Camaro LT in Shock with the 2.0 turbo and LOVE it! It's my daily driver. On 2 lanes I get just over 36 mpg, on the interstate I'm hitting right at 32 mpg.
My weekend toy is a 2017 Camaro 2SS in Krypton Green. On 2 lanes I get around 34-37 mpg, on the interstate I'm hitting just over 32 mpg.
My buddy thought I was lying about my mileage until we took both on road trips.
I set the cruise at the speed limit and go. Road trips aren't about making good time, they're about having a good time.
I do put my foot into them from time to time. Enough to get me in trouble with the wife, but not with law enforcement.
As far as worrying about your C5, my dad always said, "Take care of your vehicles with preventive maintenance and they'll take care of you."
