This is so stupid! Why does he do it on the one weekend that Nascar comes to town? Well the person that sets up the show is clearly not a race fan, I don't know how to respond to this I'm so pissed off right now.

Scotty, NUCAR Chevy near the New Castle airport has a performance shop, I would check with them if you want to get those gears and keep your warranty. If you have to get a tune, then your warranty is out the door as far as motor and drivetrain anyway....unless the dealer does it.

Thats not taking anything away from RPM...as you have heard on here...they have an extremely good reputation

When they first announced the 1LE package I seem to recall reading that it was something that could be added to SS/manual cars that weren't originally ordered with it. Not sure if that's the case or if you'd have to do an entire package or if you could just do certain parts.

I really was only interested in it for the gears...I didn't want the black hood or the black wheels and I figured I'd have to change the springs to something lower so the suspension wasn't a selling point. (Although when I lowered the car there were no sway bar upgrades available yet for the 2013.)

Ah...seems I didnt remember the article clearly...

"And the best part about it? Those 2 percent won't have to have a "1 percent" level of resources to afford the 1LE. When it's available sometime around the end of August, the 1LE package will add just $3,500 to the price of the standard SS. Oppenheiser said owners of current Camaros will be able to replicate most of the 1LE package from the parts catalog, although they won't have access to the unique final-drive ratio or the new electric power steering. Bummer."

Yeah, me too........ if I remember right, NASCAR changed to the first weekend in June for the 1st Dover race last year.......this was the weekend that the Riverfront show was held on......so it was NASCAR that messed up......the promoters of the show simply won't change the weekend because they "had it first" and apparently they had a great turnout because they won't switch it off that weekend.

Your warranty will be shot if something happens after a tune and or gears unless maybe a dealership will stand behind it. ( good luck ) By the way anyone looking to do FI later might not want to do 3.91's from what I have read.

Twoblindsheep · 03-12-2013, 09:52 AM

yeah i was told not to do FI if i am going for 3.91... too tell you the truth.. the only think i might do is turbo.. buttt that probably wont happen since i dont have the money for it.. sooo just a tune and with headers will do! lol

I'm also trying to exercise some restraint this time around...historically Ive had a tendency to blow all kinds of money on mods and upgrades only to wind up getting a different car shortly after. LOL. (At least as far as cosmetic mods go I was able to cannibalize a fair amount of stuff from the old camaro before I traded it)

96MrBass · 03-12-2013, 01:32 PM

The gears are a pretty fun mod I must say.

Is the guy who has a black with red stripes SS who talked to a guy with a beard in a GT-R on 202 in DE today here? I know that's very specific, but my brother (who has the GT-R) told me that he asked you what you had done to the SS because it sounded great and you said you had a catback but he didn't catch the brand. He knows his sounds, if said guy is on here I'm also curious what brand catback it is... Thanks!

Jiggs420 is the only active 1st State member that is close to that description....his car is black with IOM stripes.....other than that I would post this in the spotted thread.....you may get more of a chance of a response in there if the car was from the surrounding area.
