Hi Ridelight,
My 2021 Camaro is a RS with 3LT trim, most other options, and the 3.6 V6. I bought it as a daily driver to replace the Cadillac ATS my daughter is using so I wanted something that used 87 octane and sipped fuel.
You will love the SS! I have the LT4 (supercharged version of the 6.2L) in my 2016 Corvette Z06 and the naturally aspirated version of the 6.2 also has plenty of power and won't drink quite as much fuel as the forced induction version.
My ONLY complaint with the Camaro platform is visibility past the rear pillar is a bit of a pain. The mirrors and side zone warning are fine when driving down the road but there is one route I often take that terminates at Route 66 with the intersection at an odd angle instead of a typical T and I have to pull the Camaro at an odd angle to have a clear view of traffic before turning onto that road. That is the ONLY specific spot where it is an issue and it is due to the angle where the feeder road meets 66, any normal intersection (like a standard T) is fine. So if you see complaints in reviews about visibility, don't worry because it only occurs under a very unusual set of conditions and it is easy to choose an angle for the car so that you are meeting the crossroad at nearly 90 degrees like you would a normal intersection.
Everything in the vehicle market is over-priced right now due to shortages so a lot depends upon how badly you want it RIGHT NOW. Prices are crazy due to shortages with dealers demanding significant markup over sticker price on most cars and trucks but that isn't going to last and in a few months it will be a very different deal. I bought my RS just as the pandemic was getting off to a good start and with no trade, after negotiation along with GM card cash and discounts they were providing for educators and current GM car owners I wrote a check for 18K under sticker and drove away tax included. Those sorts of deals aren't going to happen anytime soon because the pandemic caused an unexpectedly high drop in demand and high inventory resulting in a low price even though I ordered mine instead of buying one off the lot. But prices are going to be dropping a lot very soon so you have to decide whether you want to be the guy who paid a lot more than people will be paying shortly.
I am not the patient sort, I am anxiously awaiting delivery of my Kubota F2690 front mower, the "tractor" part is at the dealer but due to supply chain issues the deck won't be available until early next month. I will be mowing my 5.5 acres once again tomorrow with my tried and true Deere 955 compact with midmount deck but hopefully I won't be mowing with it many more times before my new Kubota arrives.
Good luck with your decision! You will love the Camaro but try not to pay too much for it.
