New Owner of a 2014 2SS 1LE!
Hi folks!
Recently sold my 2008 Z-06 and purchased a new, Summit White 1LE. It’s got every option, and I’ve already added CAI and a tune. American Racing headers, high flow cats, and X-pipe are on order and will be installed soon. I bought this car for a daily driver, and also plan to do some racing. Last weekend I participated in the Texas Mile event. One mile, as fast as you can go at an abandon airport. The Camaro got to 153.1 mph in the mile. Not as fast as my wife’s AMG (158.2 mph), but a respectable time for near stock Camaro S/S’s. Look forward to being a forum member, and have already learned a lot about my car by reading your posts. Regards |

looks nice, I just moved from Texas, wanted to keep my registration there since I'm military cause I wanted the blacked out texas plate for my white 1LE, but I just got it registered in VA.

Where did you get the flaps from to protect from rock chipping?

Good info on top end. This was with CAI and tune only, right? What gear? Can you pull redline in 6th?
So, presumably, the other models will exceed this due to taller gearing.

Yep you were limited by the...limiter
Also hope you were past the "break-in" period before running it that hard. BTW Welcome to the CLUB! |
