You'll notice the race sponsor was Player's...the same folks that underwrote the GM/Player's Challenge Series 20 years later that begat the 1LE...

Based on a 1LS, that car could come in well under-$30K...

Tobacco companies and car racing...it was a match made in Car heaven.

This has me even more excited for the z28.

I am definately impressed with this particular vehicle. I am wondering how much this package (1LE) would cost in Canada?

Spoken like a Mustang owner.

Great to see. Can't say I'm surprised though! GM knows how to put together the whole package.

Gotta love this bench racing.

Wonder if the Camaro will get the DI engines that are going into the new trucks in 2014.

From the video I see they still haven't fixed the creaky rear seat... Not going lie, I closed my eyes a little at the first "hairpin" turn at 1:18

If I could get this with my 2011 steering wheel, a 2012 dash (not a fan of the myLink display/radio), and without the vinyl hood wrap, I would be trading mine in in a heartbeat

lol...ya i did hear it too...btw i fixed mine by rolling some electric tape around the u latch.

the vinyl hood is a 20min job to remove plus a 2 hours buffing and waxing.

You can really only compare cars on events during the same day, with the same driver.

Yup.

ZL1 still RULES!

also I dont think you can compare street car to street car with roll cage and race seat. lets see what they do from the dealer lots!

If you want that body work you gotta pat for it. As a future ZL1 owner I'd be pissed if they made it look just like the ZL1. Get what you pay for always rings true. Plus you get a supercharger out of the deal too....just sayin'
