Even if their is a power increase this goes to show why IRS is better than a SRA. It's planted and eats up corners better then any SRA. If done right. and it sounds like that's what they did. I'm sure there are other areas in the suspension department that could be done, but from the factory this is great. and if what I've heard correct the 1LE has beat the boss already on one of their favorite tracks, VIR. but if you haven't looked NAV and all that is optional with it. I'm with you 1LE should be limited in content and more like a race care. hell the LE stands for Limited Equipment, or at least use to. |

Why limit content? Have the base model with the options available. Remember GM is looking to make a buck or two.

I agree with that.
I'm just saying that the 1LE should be a stripped down street legal race car. something like the GT3 RS and the Scuderia F430. I know the suspension is superior compared to its rivals but also GM should've focused some more on weight loss. The SS its self is a great sports car (I can only imagine the purposely tuned track car) but its weight is whats holding it back. |

By the way, in the last thread it was mentioned that 278 mph was not possible. That is correct. That is the theoretical top speed in the gear at the camaro's redline. The camaro does not have the horspower and aerodynamics to achieve it. That and those two gears are overdrive gears which aren't typically used for acceleration, but fuel economy. So although it seems wrong it's actually not. Quote:

and plus most people gonna be buying the 1LE are Hrdcore Track people and somebody that knows what the car is really for. those people are most of the time willing to pay a little extra. if GM priced the 1LE at $45-$48k I personally think thats fair. Do you seriously believe that its gonna be under $40k? the Fully loaded SS sells for $39k. GM is not stupid. why buy the SS if you can have the Better one for a $1k difference? |
