Any with a manual tranny.

The one with the least mileage and the least number of modifications (unmolested preferred).

Also the 10k I saved by buying a V6 was invested and appreciating the entire time.

Factor in insurance and gas savings as well.

Sorry man, but the crazy used car market of 2022 and 2023 is responsible for all cars retaining high value. It has not been a typical market for 2.5 years.

6th Gen Camaros are made in low volumes compared to past gens. They will be valuable someday. Clean, unmodified versions of the V8 models will be the most sought after, just like with any previous Gen before it (Camaro, Mustang, etc.). Model heirarchy will hold true: ZL1 most valuable, followed by SS 1LE, SS, LT1. V6s and 4 cyl round out the bottom end of value.

Per Edmunds 2023 coupe models

A 2SS 6 speed will depreciate 37.5% over 5 years
A 1LT 4 cylinder 6 speed will depreciate 35.7% over 5 years
A ZL1 6 speed will depreciate 39.8% over 5 years
A 2Lt 4 cylinder 6 speed will depreciate 39.7% over 5 years

No data on V6 model...

That’s pretty close, and within a shorter term. I was thinking much longer term.

For comparison a 2023 Honda civic Si

Depreciation over 5 years is 30.9%

The higher trim always retains more value.

The LT1 is only good because of the V8 and the tremec manual as a value bargain if you ignore all other options

The SS is a track ready performance car. It will ways be worth more, it has the brakes and the cooling.

6th gens in recent years have always had lower production volume than Corvette's. For people who like Camaro's they will retain more value than an equivalent vehicle but long term who knows.

[LateBrakeU2]

Any M6 1LE with PDR stock in a popular/rare color with low miles.

Those that nobody ever used... at which point one has to ask the question of why. These are mass manufactured cars, they are depreciating assets and most of their value is derived from enjoying their capabilities to their fullest. If you want high return on investment, don't buy a Camaro or any car for that matter. Yes, there are exceptions, some rare specimens will sell for a lot, but it's a crapshoot.

Hi factory HP, highly factory optioned, "rare"/unusual factory option combos....and...low miles...

Those are prepandemic percentages. A 65k msrp 2017 zl1 won’t sell for less than 52k 6 years later in todays market unless the miles are higher (>50k). Pre pandemic when the 2017 zl1 was only 2-3 years old you could get them for 45k all day which follows the percentages you posted.

I think the ZL1 1LE 6MT will become collectible meaning it will appreciate in value.
Next most valuable will be the ZL1 6MT.
Low mileage stock 2SS 1LEs, MY24 riptide blue and nitro yellow will command a premium.
I think in general , any V8 6mt gen6 Camaro will stay pretty valuable as long as it's clean, stock and low mileage.

[Devstrike]

Right now mine is still worth more than I paid for it or the same depending on what you use to check. That being as said above I agree the Camaro with greatest value would be Zl1>SS>LT1 and then the non V8 models. I also agree that every car is a depreciating asset so for me I never want to sell mine so be like me enjoy it and drive it when you can.
