We know that GM is subject to the CAFE standards...and this might limit what they are able to do in terms of engines/performance variants. However...with the advent of the GT350R, I think if team Camaro really wanted to answer back, they could.
I can see any of the described "visions" come true. Interestingly, I don't think a 1LE is necessary...if you think about it...anything that might come with the package can already be purchased, or is already included on the standard SS: buy a manual SS with the forged wheels, the 6-piston brakes, and a lowering kit, and what you've got is a car equipped with all the same coolers, light wheels, stiff suspension, and exceptional performance and driving dynamics that the old 1LE had...plus some. |
Regarding the 1LE all the above mentioned items could be offered as a simple package (including MR), which is all it was before, an SS package. Tick 1 box get it all, with some badges (this time?).
