It is the performance bargain of the century :thumbsup: And there's a red 1LE 2SS showing up at a local dealer here shortly - I probably shouldn't take it for a test drive lol
Do it!! I sold my 11' SS that I swore I would never get rid of to get mine...........Wouldnt trade it for anything!!!.......You wont be sorry!!:headbang:

Once again, can't say it enough: Great job by GM, Team Chevy, and Team Camaro and I'm glad to own one of these bad boys :thumbsup::chevy::D
Sniper,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you consider that the 1LE is purely a repackaged SS, reinvented primarily for track purposes, visibility in of itself can't be a negative....that is,so long you're moving forwards, looking forwards and the competition is always behind you. Thats a postive :thumbsup: Great review...............

Yes and well worth the effort!! I think a lot of the 1le owners' swag is that we drive these cars not just ride in them. :burnrubber:

Nooooo Really?!

Swag stands for Stuff We All Got. But it's now used by douchebags and tools to present themselves.

You know your knowledge, used by Gay men you say? :facepalm:

Primarily douches, of course not implying that Tramtwo is one. Because I'm sure he isn't but that's the group that uses it. Same group that uses YOLO.

How do they say that a 1LE handles better than a ZL-1? I'm not sure I get that.....

The 1LE is lighter than the ZL1 so I wouldn't be surprised...

....also less HP so likely puttin the power to the ground gives the FEEL of better handling and possibly ACTUAL better handling as it responds better/faster/easier.....etc :iono:

I agree gotta be the weight difference. I would think the MR on a 1LE would make it even better, but also more $$$$.

Awesome review and what an awesome sound! I really want one in red....or black. Best deal for a new car you can take to the track and still drive it home after.
