New Here - Just brought home a '14 1LE! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

War Damn Eagle · 02-02-2016, 07:02 PM

This is my first post here. Just dropping by to say hi.

Yesterday I drove almost 400 miles to look at a 1LE that I had found online. After a test drive I knew I wanted the car, so I traded in my car (pictured BRZ) and drove home. I had a great 5 hour trip to get acquainted with the new car.

I must say, I'm very impressed so far. I love the power, but also I was very surprised how well this car handled in the curves. Defiinitely didn't feel like I gained a thousand pound and doesn't seem like I've lost much handling prowess switching to the camaro.

I have been lurking around the forums for a while trying to do some research before my purchase and I would like to thank all the members on here who contributed knowledge. This forum has really helped me in my search.

So without further adieu, here are some pics of my old car next to the new 1LE.

She is a '14 1LE with NPP exhaust and recaros

Haha. yeah I guess so depending on how you look at it. The BRZ was more nimble, but the Camaro definitely is very well damped and has a lot more road holding power.

SSMY1LE · 02-02-2016, 07:39 PM

homewrecker · 02-02-2016, 07:49 PM
