Is the Driver's Info Center also in color? Whooo hoooo!!

I also request that "Driver's" be changed to "Vehicle"...did anybody at GM really not realize this?

RLHMARINES · 03-27-2012, 04:05 PM

Did anyone else notice that the redline on the 1LE is 7000 rpm with an 8000 rpm tach instead of the SS's redline. I believe we are in for a pleasant surprise when it comes to this car's performance.

If it's still a generic LS3... I'd be curious what was done to allow that.

garcmol · 03-27-2012, 04:09 PM

hmmmm, the specs state 6600 rpm. (post #141)

Monte Mac · 03-27-2012, 04:16 PM

Sorry if this question was already asked, but I'm wondering why it has two different wheel sizes if the tires are the same size? Why not put the 305s on the back? Or put the same size wheels so a front to back rotation could be made?

IDK, but I'm glad they are going to make this car, and glad I decided to wait to 2013 model year for mine. Hopefully a nice blue comes back too.

I would conclude that GM is going to announce either another Synergy Series car or the Dusk Blue Edition for the Month of April. Lots of excitement for Chevy next month and with the starting shipments of the ZL1..........

.....and the warmer weather, happy times for all sports car enthusiasts

(more for the Camaro people..ssshhhhh)

kiteman · 03-27-2012, 04:27 PM

it seems to me like the way this article reads, the 1LE BASE will be under 40k. will the base include the head unit? if so, what doesn't the base include? and what about the regular 1SS and 2SS, will they be priced similarly to the 1LE or closer to 2012 prices?

last i checked on c5, there is always an abundance of affordability concerns with the camaro lineup. sure it'd be nice to own one with every feature possible, but it's also possible many of you that "wish you had waited" would have waited to only be offered a new camaro out of your price range.

not that my opinion matters in the mix of 15+ pages of comments, but i think the 1LE looks a little dumb. wasn't it the ricers who initially started the whole "let's paint one of our body panels a different color than the rest of the car" trend? and black wheels are generally disgusting if you ask me. the only thing discouraging about this article to me, a happy 2012 owner, is that i can afford the 2013 upgrade such as the head unit and would have preferred that over my 2012's configuration. but the 1LE itself isn't doing anything for me.

SilverTurtle · 03-27-2012, 04:31 PM

that's hot... would definitely drive

If you read the original OP - the 1LE "package" is added to an 1SS or 2SS base model - manual only. hope this helps

I'm daydreaming now about the 1LE with a LS7 in it!

I need that megamillions to come through(as someone mentioned earlier).

I would have a garage full of Camaro's
