This will be my main 1LE mod page, updated as I go, and hopefully will stay current.
I have to say, I was never disappointed or unhappy with the LLT V6. 300+ HP is nothing to sneeze at, even considering the car's weight. I really enjoyed driving the V6 Camaro, and to be perfectly honest, the first time I drove a regular 2SS I was actually a little underwhelmed. Yeah it had more power, and it was noticeable, but I briefly even considered a loaded 2LT instead of 2SS at first. Then I hopped in the 1LE... Holy ****!! I was really impressed right away by how smooth the shifts were, and I had the pleasure of test driving with a "car guy" salesman who let me push it a bit on a cloverleaf on ramp - the cornering was so crisp! I really understand what permagrin means now!

Here it is in the showroom of a dealer in New Hampshire. Barely over 3,000 miles on the odometer and it spent the winter nice and warm. Previous owner put about 2,200 miles on it before trading for brand new 'Vette, then the dealership owners drove it a bit and I'm told, prior to my inquiries, considered adding it to their private collection - Which was extensive!
To be perfectly honest, I really hadn't decided 100% to buy a new one, but I enjoyed window shopping and I'd been considering actually pulling the trigger more and more. I'd been hoping to get some of the options my Synergy Special Edition lacked being a hybrid between 1LT and RS. I'd been looking at mostly 2SS Camaros to get the heated leather seats and all the other little creature comforts - but then I started looking at those 1LE 1SS Camaros that Koon's Chevy had and started to think maybe I would trade some of those goodies for the track handling... And then I found this beauty! All the options I wanted - and none that I didn't (basically sunroof - I really like the headroom and the roof creases
)
Started talking to the salesman, texted some pics back and forth, and agreed on a date to look at it. I scrambled to strip down what I could from the Synergy - A bittersweet experience, so much time, effort, blood and sweat invested in that car! - And my wife and I made the 2 hour drive to NH. Was able to work out satisfactory terms with the dealership, and half a day later wife and I were riding home in the 1LE - PERMAGRIN firmly installed!
