I believe the transmissions are the same for the 1LE and Z/28. And it was Ford that didn't want the comparison test between the 1LE & Boss, otherwise it would have been done numerous times. Why didn't Ford want to compare? For review see comments from Popular Mechanics below:
"At GingerMan Raceway we fitted a Boss 302 and a Camaro SS 1LE with VBox testing gear, and after an afternoon of testing, the Camaro emerged victorious. The 1LE was 2.5 seconds faster per lap, with higher cornering grip. Subjectively, the Camaro is easier to drive very fast, with loads of traction and dead-on balance."

Ford didn't want to? But yet they compare it to the ZL1 that was going to be a puppy kick anyways? Ford had nothing to do with it, the magazines could have done it if they wanted to, and Popular Mechanics and Automobile did. None of them compared the LS, and the only place it has been run is VIR for LL 2012.
