2015 Chevrolet Camaro LT

The 2015 Chevrolet Camaro LT represents the final chapter of the fifth-generation Camaro—the generation that brought one of America’s most recognizable performance names back to the street with the wide stance, long hood and unmistakable muscle-car proportions that helped make the Camaro relevant all over again.

Finished in Gray over a Black cloth interior, this Camaro has another feature that is becoming increasingly difficult to find: a true 6-speed manual transmission. In a market where more and more performance cars have moved toward automatics, paddle shifters and electronic drive modes, there is something refreshingly old-school about a Camaro with three pedals and a shifter between the seats. You choose the gear, you control the revs, and you become part of the driving experience.

Power comes from Chevrolet’s 3.6-liter V6, giving the Camaro LT plenty of performance while maintaining a more approachable balance for everyday use. The V6 Camaro of this era was no consolation prize either—Chevrolet engineered these cars with serious horsepower, rear-wheel drive and an independent rear suspension, giving the fifth-generation Camaro substantially more capability than its retro styling might initially suggest.

Inside, the cockpit carries the Camaro theme with its low seating position, deep instrument binnacles and driver-focused layout. This example is nicely equipped with factory navigation, Chevrolet MyLink infotainment, a backup camera, steering-wheel controls, air conditioning, power accessories and the Black cloth seating that keeps the cabin sporty and straightforward.
And then there is that manual transmission.

Finding a Camaro is easy. Finding one that was ordered with the 6-speed manual is another story. These are exactly the configurations enthusiasts tend to search for years later: rear-wheel drive, naturally aspirated power, three pedals and relatively little standing between the driver and the car. As newer generations become increasingly computerized, cars like this begin to feel less like ordinary used cars and more like reminders of a disappearing formula.

The 2015 model year adds another layer to the story because it closed out the fifth-generation Camaro before Chevrolet moved to the completely redesigned sixth-generation platform. That makes this one part of a particularly recognizable Camaro era—modern enough to offer navigation and a backup camera, yet still carrying the big-body American muscle-car character and analog driving experience that defined the generation.

For someone shopping for a Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger or another rear-wheel-drive sport coupe, this Camaro LT offers something increasingly uncommon: a genuinely engaging manual-transmission coupe without having to jump into the price territory of many V8 performance models.

A great-looking Gray-on-Black Camaro, factory navigation, backup camera and, most importantly, the rare 6-speed manual transmission. This is the kind of configuration we love finding because the options actually change the character of the car.
