Ford said it can do 200 and I believe them. Do I care that it can? No!but I know there are too many ways to look bad if it doesn't. Do I believe it is under optimal conditions? Yes. But that is with every claim. Just like 1/4 mile times and everything else.

Yeah, I'd say the 1LE package is worth $3500....
You bet!
Try to buy all the suspension upgrades coilovers and goodyear F1 G2 tires and wheels alone for that money on your SS and let see where it brings you!
That is the best upgrade package price I've ever seen in any car!

Every Race team running the Camaro will order the 1LE since it's from the Manufacturer. For this kind of "so little money" a lot of guys like me looking to get a track car on a budget will go that route too... it's a great bargain.

+1

Who cares what they call it as long as it performs?

And I'm fine with that. To me it's very impressive for it's price whether it's a model or a performance package. Well said.

And try buying all of that, adding it, and keeping your warranty.

A lot of people that will purchase an SS1LE, including me, will call it just a 1LE. Much like V-6 guys call a 1LT/RS an RS. Just sounds cooler is all.

Did it stop you from getting the SS? Who’s waiting for the Z28 to come out?
New buyers? no.
Chevy owners? mainly
2010+ Camaro owners? yes absolutely

So that's why you will wait...only hard core fan (mostly) will buy this product and since we are already customer waiting to trade our actual ride, we will have to wait until next Gen or the last year of this gen to swap to make it even more commercially viable.
That's my take anyway. The Z28 was the moniker for an entry level V8 car... cosmetically it was unique and performance wise it was not to come close to the SS 1LE.

The past his repeating itself here once again.

Try googling Camaro History, better yet, try making a statement like that in the Z/28 thread

Hold on a sec. I seem to remember the ZL1 beating a LS Boss by 2.45 seconds in the Motortrend test. That was by a pro driver under the same conditions. You're telling me the 1LE can beat it by four on VIR. Please! Looking forward to running into one of these on the track. Don't buy into hero runs or you'll be seriously disappointed at the track.

I will admit that was some great driving in the video. Look forward to a test by Motortrend with Randy driving.

Try to prove me that there wasn't an SS that had a bigger engine and better performance then the Z28 in any of the Generations?

The Z/28 was not an entry level V8 model. It was set up for Trans Am racing with the 5 liter displacement cap so the Z/28 came with the 302. Just because there are other cars with bigger engines, doesn't mean the Z/28 was entry level.

Yes, absolutely. Trans AM was an entry level racing I should of said. (Entry level meant Money wise)
