Mag ride as a 2-3k option COPO seat option, an ls7, stuff for the v6 guys etc. Those would be sweet.

All great ideas that would be nice to see. Don't forget the ZL1 brakes.

Good luck with that one, given how much they cost....the add on would preclude a lot of people, much like the LS7

I bet the 1LE RPO is a loss leader-don't be surprised if this is a one year stand alone option. They resurrected the RPO after a fourteen year hiatus for one reason- to spank the BOSS for 10k less. Why do you think Ford would not bring it to a shootout?

A ZL1 is 20k more-for a huffer, big calipers,mag ride and aero aesthetics. $3500 for everything else, a specifc trans/shock package AND better fuel economy?. Try price spec'ing out all the RPO components, you will be shocked. Hell the tire and wheel package alone is prolly more than the cost of the option. We all could be owners of special cars, they have only offered this option maybe ten or so of the forty six years of Fbody production.

The 1LE isn't going anywhere. Enhancements are much more likely than the option going away. In the 2013 Camaro brochure it says that the 1LE is here to stay. I doubt they meant for 1 year.

They're selling like hotcakes... more than GM suspected I think. I still feel like I stole something. I bet all parts individually from GM (if you could get the transmission) would be north of 10k... easy. Lovin me some 1LE!!

How do you think the value of the 1LE compares to the ZL1? ZL1 is $15k more and you get mag shocks, supercharger, etc. It seems like a good value too.

I think except for the mag ride and the fancy computers you could easily surpass the zl1 stock performance for less than 15k worth of mods added to a 1LE. To take an SS past the 1LE performance for less than 3500.... not going to happen. I think the entire Camaro line offers tremendous value. They just knocked it out the park with the 1LE!!

Good front pic Tram. Still think you should paint that hood though.

I'm leaning towards getting a 2014 but if I was a 2013 1LE owner I would be feeling pretty special right now.

If you waited this long , you might as well wait for the 2014 model as the incentives are getting better and better. And i bet they will improve the 1le with little cost increase if any . The Z28 option would be nice to have and it will be the best camaro to have in my opinion.

Hopefully the "enhancements" aren't European tail lights and mirrors...

I really doubt they would do that. They have never come out and asked for people to look at the next years upcoming changes and we have had some substantial changes since the fifth gens release. I'm not expecting an LT1 for the SS or anything that crazy but I don't expect to be disappointed either.

Now with the new v6 twin turbo in the camaro line up 2014 ,making the same power and torque as the LS 3 but with much better mpg that might be the way to go for those daily drivers. My two cents.

Customer Cash Incentives are added to help the sales of a vehicle.....the 2013 has incentives to move them off the lot before the 2014 arrives. Being that the 2014 is a mid model update there most likely wont be any on the MY14 upon their release as they are typically not needed.

Agree if you want to be the first kid on the block with a refresh 5th gen 2014 there might be no incentives , however if you wait a couple of months after they hit the dealerships I guarantee there will be incentives . Even a refresh 5th generation sales will decline as people await the 6th gen camaro. Just my two cents.
