1) Blue Ray Metallic is the only new color. All of the other colors are the same as last year.

2) Mojave interior will be an upgrade. It will cost extra just like Inferno Orange interior.

3) The wheels and tires are listed as a seperate option. I wonder if you can order the wheels and tires on an SS without the 1LE option?

4) They also list the FE6 suspension seperately from the 1LE option.

5) The Dual Mode exhaust is not included with the 1LE option. :(

6) The "Spare tire and wheel, not desired" option is selected with the 1LE option.

7) Navigation is an option. (Based on how many other Chevys are "optioned", I thought that the navigation might come standard on a 2SS.)

8) The Hurst shifter option is not selected with the 1LE option. I wonder if the ZL1 short throw shifter is better than the Hurst unit?


They didn't have any prices yet. However, they did say that Chevy might release the 1LE before the Fall, if there is a high demand for these cars. I can only hope!

I haven't seen anything posted from any reliable sources on here that say the 1LE won't be available at the start of 2013 production. Some people have had dealers tell them different, but I don't consider that official word.

That's what they're calling the 1LE suspension. Doubtful that it is available as a separate option. The way I look at it is this is all preleminary information until pricing is available.

I am hoping to order in May...

Reliable source? Do you mean besides Chevy's official press release?

FE6 - Suspension, Performance Ride and Handling. That is how it's listed on the order sheet.

I like the FE6 designation.

My dealer selected a 2SS with the 1LE option. He didn't chose a color or interior, and these were the optins that were "checked".

LS3 - Engine, 6.2L V8 SFI
MN6 - Transmission, 6-speed manual
FE9 - Emissions, Federal requirements
RKC - Tires, 285/35ZR20 blackwall
RSK - Wheels, 20" x 10" (50.8 cm x 25.4 cm) front and 20" x 11" (50.8cm
x 27.9 cm) rear Black 10-spoke forged aluminum
UQA - Audio system feature
AKQ - Seat adjuster, front passenger, 6-way power (fore/aft, up/down,
tilt) with power recliner
B34 - Floor mats, carpeted front
DCP - Directions and Connections OnStar service
FE6 - Suspension, Performance Ride and Handling
G80 - Differential, limited slip
SGC - Spare tire and wheel, not desired
SRU - Rear Vision Package
UFU - Audio system, 7" diagonal Color Touch screen display AM/FM stereo
VK3 - License plate bracket, front



I will be selecting a few more options than this when I order mine. I wish they offered a Dark Silver color '13. I'm really not sure what color i want now.

Not trying to argue, you may be right but to me this means the same time as the other 2013 models. From the press release.
"The 1LE package goes on sale this fall with the 2013 Camaro line."
Maybe they consider when the rest of the line is available to be fall. Clarification would be nice.

You might be right, but that seems pretty clear to me. It says that the 1LE will be part of the 2013 Camaro Line, but it won't be available until the Fall. I can't think of any reason that the 1LE wouldn't be available at the beginning of production. The good news? We will know in 3 weeks if the 1LE will be available at the beginning of production.

Why would Chevy put performance suspension on a trim that is first and foremost built for economy. It makes perfect sense, for the SS but not for the LS or LT.

Well, that's not true. If it was, you wouldn't have posted at all. So, what is it that you disagree with? I thought that is what a Forum is for, to share ideas and opinions.
