Torn between SS 2 or SS 2 w/ 1le package.. - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

1LE without a doubt will be harsher on the roads. If you want road comfort you have to go to the V6 unfortunately.

The SS and the SS 1LE are performance cars, they perform, that's what they do. Unfortunately an increase in performance leads to a decrease in comfort. No getting around that.

If you're going to go SS, then I would do the 1LE.

If you want to be able to make that Louisiana trip in ultimate Camaro comfort, it's all about the 2LT

For ultimate ride comfort in a Camaro go with a ZL1, the Mag ride is nothing less than amazing.

1LE. Some folks will bring up the cost of tires for it. Unlike the ZL1 you can put any replacment tires you want on the 1LE since you do not have the computer that is setup to use specific tires.

You also have a better gear ratio that will make the 2 ton car move better of the line. Should be a great car for the track, strip and street driving.

Another vote for the 1LE.

1LE Order for me. I had my doubts.

The real answer to your question will depend on what your coming from. I came from a 2006 Mustang Convertible. If you asked me, I would tell you that my SS convertible is one of the smoothest and quietest cars I've ever been in. It handles bumps so much better than the Mustang, I feel like I'm riding in a Lexus or something.

I would get the 1LE. You'll have one of the most distinguished and exciting cars on the road. You'll own a car that was truly designed for racing, how awesome is that? IMO, the wheels alone are reason enough to get the 1LE.

Yeah those wheels really make it stand out and give the car a lot of character as dose the flat black hood.. SS 2 1LE it is.. Have any idea when the cutoff date is for ordering a 1le ? Do you think it will run as long as the SS; i believe the cutoff date for the SS is Mid March sometime. Thanks for all the insight..

Since it's really only an option package on the SS, you should be able to order it as long as you can order an SS.

Cut off date for the SS? Eh?

PYROLYSIS · 07-27-2012, 02:13 PM

SS isn't going anywhere, he just got some misinformation.

Captain77 · 07-27-2012, 02:23 PM

I guess some of you guys miss understood me; what I meant was the cutoff to order a 2013. Not the end of the SS.
