Should I buy this 1LE??? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What pushed me to the gen5 was the price per performance. the gen5 1LE had the same performance numbers as a gen6 2SS. but i could get 20% on the gen5, so it was a no brainer for me. gen6 would have cost me $10k more for what i found in a gen5. I also preferred the LS3 for mods over the LT1.

I ordered my car for my DD and the car is frikin awesome. No way, am I getting rid of this car!!!!! You already have a proven aftermarket for the Gen 5. Gen 6 is an experiment at this point, but things will get sorted out. Take for instance a CAI intake. The Gen 6 is having a strange whistle sound for some people.

Another thing is that, I'm not a fan of a DI motor. I know that is the direction, but a DI engine needs the extra port injection as well. This will help with the buildup on the valves. The LS3 is a great proven engine with no AFM. If your into modding, it will cost less than the LT1, due to DI and variable valve timing, etc. It is a little more tricky to tune.

You can have fun now or wait till later. Good luck with your decision.

I definitely agree with you. Do id you buy your car new? This one is slightly used - 6 months old where it was purchased at the end of the year So the miles are super low. There certainly are not much new left over 1LE's out there.

Heard there were 6 new 1LEs left in the country in another post. At 15% off you should find a good deal if you want to go that route.

I found mine after Christmas, car was on the lot for 451 days so there were huge discounts on it. $42195 marked down to $33195 after all rebates. Then I found a private offer for another $1000 off. I couldn't pass it up.

Not far away, the options you want, 1LE badging, and the miles don't get much lower than this......for 1000 less asking. I'd buy it if I wanted a white car minus Recaros......

Go with the new 15. The 16's pricing is ridiculous. Most well-equipped 2SS are 50k, so expect 45k for a 1LE. As mentioned, with 15% off you can score one for at least 10k less.

JCunningham · 04-28-2016, 10:56 PM

what year? you can buy a new 15 2SS for $31k http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...03767407&Log=0

Mach83 · 05-01-2016, 02:40 PM

Any update? Curious if you bought it.

77TA400 · 05-02-2016, 09:33 PM

No purchase yet. I had some issues come up this past weekend that I need to iron out. Maybe this cooler wet weather up here in the northeast will prevent anyone from Camaro shopping.
