Just got my 13 1LE in from shipping yesterday

[Antbox530]

Wow. I am truly impressed by the handling. I didn't think it was possible for such a heavy car to handle like this stock(minus pilot supersports all the way around.)
This might be the best handling car I've ever driven.

Puts my last car, BMW 335xi with sport package, to absolute shame and quite a bit better than my car before that (2800 lb car with over 3K into track suspension) and a tiny bit better than my gutted track car 240sx (2400lb) that had 7-8k into the suspension

I think my 335xi was a bit faster in a straight line with only a tune, but LT headers will probably get it up to par.

Welcome to the wonderfull 1LE !

You have had quite a few impressive modded track cars, I might add.

I hated camaros before the 1le because they handled like boats. I was literally mindblown when I drove the 1le because I couldn't believe how they transformed (pun not intended) the fat pig. Welcome to the site and enjoy.

Thanks!
The 240sx was probably the most fun, but it was borderline impossible to drive on the street. That's why I say the 1le is better. In terms of actual handling, I'd have to say it was a little better than the Camaro, but it was so harsh and in daily able I give the edge to the 1le. It had a fully built sr20 that was pushing 400 to the wheels on pump gas. No ac, power steering, gutted and caged with 5 points, and a two way rear end made it not so fun as a daily. That was the only track car.



The rsx still had daily amenities and was pretty fun for a cheap little reliable car. That had inverted monotube coilovers all the way around, badass clutch (exedy hyper single), shifter bushings, lightweight flywheel, sway bars, tower bars, poly/pillowball mounts for all the suspension, motor mounts, standalone ECU, Recaros, and basic engine bolt ons.

The 1le is perfect though. Handles amazing, pretty good power, looks great, and it just feels so raw, but in a good way.

It's also impossible to beat the sound of a LS3 with NPP

I'll probably keep it pretty mild. Definitely a CAI, cam, and headers. Maybe a turbonetics kit or SLP SC as I really like the CARB E/O thing

[SSMY1LE]

A cam, headers and tune will match the power to the handling of these cars. It really wakes them up !!
Should be like that from the factory.

I am currently backing out on a deal on a 2014 1le CPO car that I found. Reason for backing out? sight unseen purchase and delivery is $1700!

Can you describe your purchase and shipping experience? I guess im looking for some convincing?? I dunno...

Nice job on the car!

thanks!

I was / am impressed as well. I would not have considered a Camaro to be honest, but for the reviews (Randy Pobst for example) and the lap times. Happy I got it. So used to turbo cars, it's really nice for a change to have a decent V8. I do miss the urgency of a modded turbo engine sometimes. I have to stop looking at turbo kits, will probably ruin the character of the car.

That's pretty scummy to back out on a deal because of shipping cost. You didn't know it was gonna cost money to ship? I just shipped my 1LE from Pennsylvania to Florida for $900 sight unseen. There was offers as low as $500 and as much as $1300 for covered transport. Shipping sucks no two ways about it, you're gonna feel like you got scammed by the driver and the dispatcher, the driver is gonna be late on both sides of the shipping, but they're gonna get you your car and it's gonna be undamaged or they have to pay for it.

I guess it's pretty rare to follow through with a deal now a days. Just thinking about people backing out on deals gets me heated.

It was simple because I got it at CarMax. I just paid them the transfer fee and it took about a week from Georgia to Colorado.
