I haven't heard too much about this model as far as driving impressions. I'm really looking forward to hearing more about this model. Does anyone have one yet? What do you think?

Turbo ZL1 count?

I feel that you already know that answer :P

I wish they had new cars like this when I was in my early twenties - $30k ($25k adjusted for inflation 10 years ago) for a car that was ready for the race track, comfortable, quick, and backed up with a warranty. $25k back then would've almost got you a WRX, but that wasn't a good track car from the factory. Same goes for the Mustangs, Cobalt SS, Mazdaspeed3s, etc.

I'd like to take one to my local track to see what type of lap times I could turn compared to my SS 1LE.

For conversation's sake, I had a 2007 Mazdaspeed3 and it did really well at HPDEs and AutoX. It had economy car beginnings, but really was a good car. In fact, After Koni Yellows and sway bars I could hang with E36 and E46 M3s. I didn't even touch the brakes, just changed to DOT 4 fluid.

But I digress. I'm interested to hear more about the turbo 1LEs too. And you're right, for a relatively low price, the turbo 1LE is a lot of car.

Up until just now I thought OP was curious about if someone threw a turbo on their 1SS 1LE and how they liked it.


Finally hit me he was looking for someone with the new for '19 four cylinder turbo 1LE.

Now I'm interested.

yup, I have an ss 1le, I'm just excited to hear about the new LTG 1LE because, I actually have an equinox with the LTG in it and its damn zippy. Can't help but think "this engine in a camaro with a manual would be sooo fun."

I've only seen this. C&D has been very friendly to the Camaro in their reviews the past 5 years. I think this track time is pretty close to the 5th Gen 1LE which is nuts.
