Owning SSes for 50 Years

Wow! This is a great video and just a glimpse of a great car. I can understand the Mustang guys getting their underwear in a wad about this especially since the Boss 302 goes for $44k without the dealer markup. Yeah, but if the 1LE even sticks close to the Boss, it's still a win! I'm surprised at the negative comments on this thread...this is great news.
I watched the Camaros put a whoopin on the rest of the field including the Boss 302 at Indianapolis this past Friday in the Continental Tire Challenge race. Camaros came in 1st and 2nd and maybe 4th...don't remember. That used to be a Mustang safe haven but now it looks like the Camaro is the "boss"!

Once these Grand-Am GS teams gets their hands on the 1LE package it's going to be a carnage on every track!

When does the order book open for the 1LE? This car has convinced me to spend my money with GM again. Unless of course dealers try and pull some mark up BS, but I don't see how, the car is not a limited edition, its just a option on top of a SS.

Affordability. I would fight to the end with the dealer if I saw them add markups on this car. That being said, I can't wait to purchase one in the spring of 13'. Last edited by 1LEE; 07-31-2012 at 01:13 PM. |

Another great addition to, the line up. The Camaro team has done it again. If I had not decided to buy a ZL1, I was going to buy one of these.
Note how fast a car is on any track on any given day, really depends on the driver. As stated before on this forum, most of us can not fully use the cars we have. Thank you Becky for posting this for us. And some of us appreciate all tha the Camaro team has done with the card they have been given. |

I've NEVER been a Mustang guy. I've heard of the Boss and all the rest. My point is that the names bring attention and memory. The numbers don't. Shelby, Cobra, Boss. ZL1, 1LE, Z28. Only the Z28 is common on the Camaro side. Ask 100 random people what a Shelby, Cobra, or Boss is and I'll bet you get 85 people who know. Do the same with ZL1, 1LE and leave out the Z28 and I'll bet you MIGHT get 15 that know. In fact, I've yet to talk to a non-Camaro person who had any recollection of EITHER ZL1 or 1LE. Not a single one. Heck, the ZL1 I had to reach for having ever heard of it. That's really my only point. If the idea is to sell Camaros to Camaro enthusiasts then, hey, great. It might work. If the idea is to sell Camaros to Camaro enthusiasts AND non-enthusiasts then I think they will sell a few less cars. Give it an appropriate name and it would get more ambient attention from non-enthusiasts. Topic for another thread though. |

The thing about the 1LE is that it's just an option on the SS, it's not really a new model. |
