Not crazy about the front end either, looks like its squished.

I haven't modded it to much yet. Exhaust system with super 10's CAI. And thats about it. The 1le is tempting. But again 3k can get me the body kit i want. Which is the Seibon carbon fiber body kit posted in the previous pic the black one. Also the hood i will exchange for a zl1 looking hood. I like the 1le because it is standard... I really want a standard now. Decisions Decisions...

Rise and shine! What did you decide?

AnUnarmedMan · 01-14-2014, 08:27 AM

Don't do it bro. Make good decisions.

ClarityCamaro · 01-14-2014, 08:36 AM

It's such a hard decision honestly.... I woke up and thought to myself the pros and cons so I will list them for you guy... Pros; better suspension, standard, has wider tires, gears are better, it looks different, has 4k miles on it, only 1 other 1le that I've seen in lubbock.
Cons; will cost me $50 more a month, biggest con doesn't have red interior that's huge for me, I've already put a Cai and an exhaust.

And this was my first Camaro I bought its kind of like trading in my first girlfriend for a better one. In real life I wouldn't mind doing that however this one has treated me so good

... I have 3 more hours to decide... Sleeping on it didn't help much.. I really appreciate your guys opinions it has helped me think about it. Although you guy are half and half as well...

I have a black car with the inferno orange interior like yours. I absolutely love the interior myself and have a 2014 1LE with Recaros at a local dealer here that I looked at. I've driven a 2013 1LE that a friend has in our club here and it's a tight driving car I give them that. I decided to keep the current car and spend money on mods. The MyLink is cool, but it doesn't have a cd player which may be a drawback for some people. Check out this thread on here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...274209&page=38 the MyLink can be retrofitted into your 2011. Another company is charging $1800 for the non-nav and $2000 for the nav, so know that Ofer's price probably won't be too far off. For $1900 you could do the ZL Spec Stage III kit from Pfadt to your suspension and have equal if not better handling than a 1LE. Looks like from the picture you posted you have some mod ideas already in mind for your current ride. So with $3000 down on the 1LE plus $50 a month ($50x72=$3600) You're paying $6600 for your new ride or keep the current ride and do some mods with that money and be happy with the interior you love.

I think that pretty much did it for me lol. I am more than likely going to keep the camaro i have right now. And like people are saying just spend it on mods. The only thing i regret not getting is manual. I know it can be done probably automatic to manual. But the cost would be outrageous.

ClarityCamaro · 01-14-2014, 10:00 AM

Here is the 1le i was looking at .http://www.usedcarsgroup.com/used-20...ft1ew8d9183804

Squillo · 01-14-2014, 10:17 AM

Go for the 1LE 100%

ClarityCamaro · 01-14-2014, 10:54 AM

Decision made... I just can't give up my red interior. And i will be purchasing the seibon carbon fiber kit. Also with a cam and some new wheels. Thanks for all the info. So decision is i didn't pull the trigger and just going to use the money and mod my current ride. And i might install the Mylink as well.

caverman · 01-14-2014, 11:13 AM

IDK.....the 1LE is bad ass but I just can't get past the new design personally. I think like other's mentioned you could put that $3k + $600 a year into your car and have a great performing car. For that $3k you could put headers/tune/intake + gears and really wake up your current SS. You might be able to even squeeze in the cost of some 1LE swaybars and FE4 conversion.

However, if you're wanting to go to a manual trans then it might be worth it. Or, see if you can search and find a '13 1LE.

I saw that too, but I think the web page is screwed up. If you notice in the description is says it is an automatic.
