I am looking at a Gen 6 Camaro as a retirement present..
Any issues/problems I should be looking for -
Currently looking at a 2021 LT1 Automatic - drove it this afternoon.

Try and find a 2LT if your not going SS. It will have more happening on the inside. Leather, heated and cooled seats, maybe a heads up display I'm not really sure on that one.
When i was originally looking i wanted a 1SS because i just wanted a no frills fast car with a manual. I ended up finding a 2017 2SS for $17k that someone took the airbox and it wouldn't run. Looking back im really glad i ended up with the uplevel trim. It's just really nice to be inside it.

He is talking LT1 (V8), not 1LT (V6)... I think he wants a V8...

Hi OP, since you mentioned retirement, I think you want a 2SS or a ZL1, nothing less, because you'll want a reasonably nice interior with all the extra content ever offered on the 6th Camaro: leather seats with memory, nice gauge cluster, nice knee pads on doors and the center console, proper brakes, head-up display, BOSE sound, spectrum lighting effects, dual zone climate control, blind spot monitoring (a must), rear cross traffic alert etc., even wireless phone charging. My 2018 has the 3-button garage door opener, too, unfortunately GM has "engineered" that out of the car since then.

In your shoes, I would feel let down with a barebones V8 whose interior has hard plastic galore and a 1990s style gauge cluster, not to mention the lack of these other features.

Apart from that, you may also want the dual mode (quad tip) exhaust so you can control exhaust volume, and magnetic ride control that gives you a softer suspension in tour and snow/ice modes, a feeling for every pebble in track mode, and a firmer ride inbetween for sport mode.

If the ZL1 is too expensive, you don't like alcantara or you're afraid of possibly losing the car with that much power, go for the 2SS, you won't regret it.

I completely agree with this. I was "only" 52 years old when I started looking at 6th gens. Having a 2SS was an absolute requirement, or I wasn't buying it. And now, I wouldn't want to be without those features. It's like having a "cadillac" on a "cutlass" budget. I drove from WI to FL and back last spring - I don't have a good back, and my wife had just finished 33 intense radiation treatments the week before. We both thought it was the most comfortable ride we'd had.

Don't limit yourself with location, a one-way ticket isn't that expensive. I was ready to fly anywhere in the country to find a Camaro with my exact requirements. I was almost disappointed to find it only 2 hours away.

I have a '23 LT1, low mileage, Vivid Orange Metallic, RS, quad exhaust, 6.2, auto.

OP, Id suggest a 2SS at the minimum. If you really want a bang for a buck (but alittle harder to find) id suggest a 2ss 1le.

I agree with this 100%. A little over a year after I retired I decided I wanted a modern muscle car. I bought a new 2024 2SS in November 2023. A month or so later I was looking to upgrade to a ZL1. I bought a 2023 ZL1 in January 2024 and got rid of the 2SS in February. When I bought the 2SS I didn't think I would want the addition horsepower and other amenities the ZL1 had.
