1LE vs SLP
 

I have been considering a 1LE and then came across a new 2010 SLP ZL575.

I am leaning towards the SLP, over 600 HP, brand new, less that 50 miles and almost as cheap as a new 1LE.

The SLP is loaded, what's you'lls thoughts?

Get the 1LE you can make it a SLP ZL what ever if you want and still have those hot wheels, tranny cooling and what not plus better swaybars stock.

Depends on your needs.
For a street car that you might take to the drag strip occasionally, I'd jump all over the SLP Supercharged setup (can't argue with HP).

But if your plans include road racing, road course, autocross, etc, the 1LE would be the car of choice.

SLP.

How close to $37k?

SLP

Pretty much my thoughts too. Each car may have a purpose. It would be great to afford both!

Not sure the SLP is anywhere near the 1LE in price...its like saying ZL1 or 1LE..

:word:

a 2SS RS 1LE is almost the same price of the SLPs that are new on ebay that the op is talking about.

:word:

ahh yeah...it makes sense then. I'm thinking too much about my cheap 1SS 1LE hehe

:word:


It depends on how long you are going to keep it, and how important your bumper to bumper 3year/ 36,000 miles and 5 year powertrain coverage is. It may be "new" untitled but has Chevrolet started the clock on the warranty?? The 3 year may be already be up on time.

Personally I think I would take the 1LE.

I own a 2011 SLP ZL-585. Great car and i love the fact that the stripes are painted and cleared over instead of stickers. Mine dynod 499hp/490tq RWH with 500 miles on it. SLP gives a 5year 100k miles warranty also! Its a steal at 49k. Put some lightweight wheels and real rubber and swaybars and youll be good for autocrossing as well.

Best thing is they only produce 250 a year so its very unlikely youll ever see a SLP car just like yours. Buddy here got the first zl-1 in utah in march. There is allready 3 zl-1s same color and wheels as his here in town. Its not as unique as it was!

Go for SLP

If your paying 49k for the slp skip it and pay up for the ZL1! The Zl1 is enginered to last.

ZL1 ftw!. If not then the SLP is a well equipped car. To bad it's almost 3yo.

If you have an additional 10k laying around put it into the SLP car and youll be eating ZL1s and gt500s for lunch!:chevy:

Saw the pic on ebay of the 49k slp and looks dated. No comparison to the Zl1 which is only 8k more. If it was me I would go for the Zl1 and finance trough gm . If you want to save money like myself go for the 1le.

To bad their not brand new. GM would give you 0% financng like they did my 11'!

I wish a ZL1 was only 8,000 more, I can't find one where I'm at or on ebay for anything less than 61-65,000 and that's without the mark up.

These are fully loaded, drilled 16" rotors, 6 piston brembos on the front, lowered and adjustable sway bars.

My plans don't include road racing, and I don't do much drag racing, I just wanted an upgrade in power and I really liked it being a 2010 (first yr car).

many dealers in ny and nj area are selling Zl1s for sticker or just under sticker theres a new 12 in nj for 55k !

If you put an additional 10k into the slp motor it wouldnt last a week! Ls3 is not designed to handle the stress of all that power.

Why on Gods green earth would you want a 2010 knowing that earlier cars has lots of bugs. My 2012 vs my 2011 is still way better. Swaybar studs for example are larger and more robust for larger swaybars, the 2010 studs were puny for like Honda civics. 1LE and ZL-1 has tranny coolers, diff coolers, electric power assist, dual mode exhaust. Screw 2010s.

This. For the price I guarantee most people would want the ZL1. Not many people would choose an aftermarket SS over a gm manufactured car such as the 1LE or ZL1. Plus you get the GM warranty. Just something to think about.

Sounds like you already decided. The slp fits your wants perfectly. The 1le is meant to handle and does not have a bump in power over a regular ss.

Maybe not, but it does have better gearing and lighter wheels, which will give a slight edge over a stock SS IMO.

I agree it will have a slight edge but it sounded like op wanted a bump in power and the slp delivers on that very well.

Put 4 grand into the motor. 6 into wheels tires/suspension. Gaurantee you would eat zl1s for lunch both on the dragstrip and autocrossing. Have a local here that has maggie/headers/pulley/tune/cam Stock bottom end 720 rwh and its been good for a year now. But were at 4000ft elevation so that brings the actual hp numbers down. LS3 good for 650 rwh all day.

Bugs
 

All cars have some issues, I currently have 2010 SS and have not had one issue with it. Yes, Chevy improved the camaro over the next few years but to each his own. For most of those changes I can make them.

And then we get to SLP, pretty good car (camaro) and SLP has made there changes to make it better, so add some suspension upgrades and I will be right were I want to be.

Yea, I'm pretty sure this is what I'm getting.

Dude...that is F'ing HOT!
1LE? Thats not even a decision in my book.

Thats a BOATLOAD of car for the price.
Brand New
Supercharged
Serialized SLP
Brembo GT Brakes (The real ones)
Painted stripes
I've seen the build sheets on those cars...
Highly optioned cars all of them.
On and on and on...

You go!

Totally agree...

You still have the complete warranty on the SLP plus 575HP and all the extras SLP puts in their "production" camaros. MyLink and a ZL1 wheel dont balance out what you get in the SLP (well, I do like my HUD..)

So mike.....are you now mikeSLP?

Hey, I kinda like that. almost, it's supposed to be arriving today or tomorrow.

I forgot the Brembo GT brakes. Good pieces and makes it a really good deal. Oh actually Mike2SS those Brembos are crap. Get the ZL-1 brakes and sell me the Brembos for a good price :D.

The SLP, for sure. If theyre really close in price, go with the SLP

Get the SLP. I got the SLP ZL 427 and then added a Edelbrock supercharger and some other goodies and I'm at 585 RWHP now. Offer a lot lower for it. I know there is at least 30% mark up in the SLP stuff..

Got the SLP, went on our first drive sunday to a car club get together (over 75 cars) to drop off canned goods for the homeless.

Love it and it has so much TQ!
