Color was the hardest decision to make when ordering. I considered RJT, VR, Black, and BRM, so it will be great to see it in all of those colors. Black was my second choice and it looks great. I already have a black car though, and they are so hard to keep clean.

Here is a better one I caught on a gas station.

Anyone else notice this one has gray interior? I thought we only got black.

Because the four same sized tires are meant to fix the understeer problem.

Pulled up to my new 1LE!

Love it...as I parked this guy was taking pics of it. He told me that he almost wrecked his diesel pickup when it caught his eye he almost rear-ended some lady. LOL

OUT with the Cobalt(selling soon)....IN with the Camaro!

Right before we headed out:

My new view:

Flyby vid:(buddy sent from phone and said he didn't know how to rotate...sorry)

Few driving pics:

Made it home:

2 Issues I'm dumbfounded GM didnt' catch:
1:This is my right rear tire....see anything wrong?

Looks like they slapped on a ZL1 wheel/tire combo on my 1LE...will talk to my local dealership tomorrow and see what they can do.
2:This is what my steering wheel looks like to drive straight :( See anything wrong?

The dealer I picked it up from said GM will not realign a new car until it has 500miles on it. WTF! I'll address this as well.

Anyways, car feels awesome....already have about 150miles on it and I'm in love.

Wow, when you blasted by your buddy, it convinced me i made the right exhaust choice. Too bad about the 2 issues, but they can easily be resolved. Btw, is that a directional indicator on the 305? If so, it's mounted wrong! Happy for you man. You must have the 1st Virginia 1LE.

I completely agree, I knew it would be good for stock, but no idea it would sounds like that!!

Congrats to all the 1LE owners thus far... all look awesome... but i'm ready to see an IOM and CRT!

Mgizzle · 11-03-2012, 08:42 AM

I think the car was a GM CTF (pre production test fleet) car and the interior was not production intent, not sure.

Anyhow, that exhaust sounds so good when u did the drive by I cant wait.

well with the 305 you could also just add more rear bar or get some double adjustable links made and add in some preload to balance out the understeer I adjust mine all the time depending on which track I am running . I do not know the stock 1LE spring rates but it sounds to me that the front to rear spread is pretty close to the same rates or within 200lbs or so to run a big bar on the rear with an independent rear suspension.

I was thinking that right after I posted it. I think that's the most logical answer.
