Sound Was great. Love the heel to toe down shift @ 6.17 (that "sound track" is soooo good)

edz10ss · 01-07-2013, 07:14 PM

Havent driven one yet? I plan on test driving 1 this week or a ZL1. Love to test drive both. Wish this car had the magnetic ride suspension.. Anyway, incredible review on the 1lE!

SUKXOST · 01-07-2013, 07:19 PM

I wonder what the 1LE would be like lowered a little with 200WHP and 200WTQ more.......

...oh wait a minute.....

mgm · 01-07-2013, 07:44 PM

Awesome!
The 1LE SS just simply kicks the ass of cars costing so much more.

Never seen over 50 people viewing in this section before. Glad to see more people seeing what this car is capable of.

So the 1le has the same power plant as the SS LS3. How does it pick up the quicker 0-60 and quarter mile times.? Is it the suspension tuning? What is the rear end ratio is it 3:45:1 ?

Nice video ... Dual mode does sound great.

I'd be willing to bet a big part of the better 0-60 time was the wider rear tires on the 1LE vs stock SS. I'm sure the gearing helps also, but I'd bet mainly the tires

stickystuff · 01-07-2013, 08:55 PM

ok. im doing deal and trading 04' m3 for new 1L3.

The 3:91 final drive is just as big of a factor

I must say that I'm slightly envious of the 1LE. I had to piece together my SS part my part and i'd wager I'm at best about even with what your cars are capable of. At only $3500 over the price of an SS its definitely the performance bargain of the century.

SGT Stretch · 01-07-2013, 09:11 PM

yea the 3.91's coming stock have a ton to do with the 1/4 mile times. quite a few SS owners have already swapped thier 3.45's out with the OEM 3.91's, or went the route i am going and just swapping the diff's with the 1le diff

JWR046 · 01-07-2013, 09:17 PM

Pretty impressive. The engineers did some serious work with these car. I would be interested to see Randy run the ZL1 on that track. The 1LE will be a beast with a LS7 if that ever comes to fruition.
