Bigg from France : Camaro SS 1LE
Hey guy’s !
I’m Julien, I live in France between Deauville and Paris, and I’ve 39 years old. In order to increase my English level, I’ll try to not use Google translate, maybe my language will be not correct, sorry in advance. Lot of friends have american car and I love V8 engine, and today I think only american car can bought you modernity, V8 normally aspirated, and manual transmission. Previously, I would like a Corvette C7 Stringray but for my budget, it will be difficult to find a beautiful model (3LT, beautiful color, etc...). That why I began to search Camaro, and I discovered the SS with 1LE package which corresponds better at my actual car, than a standard Camaro. I’ve sold my BMW M3 e92, and now I’ve just reserved a 2018 Camaro 2SS 1LE, the only 1LE on sale in France ! This car come from Ontario, and it imported in France in 2020. Some pics to Canada : And some pics to France : I’m on this forum for learn details of this car, and talk with other owners, also because I like United States ! See you ! |

Julien, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.
oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!!

Do you know why some Camaro's have red rear light, and some have white ? (Like mine) Option of Chevy or aftermarket ? |

Red vs Cleat brake lights? No sure, not a Camaro owner but maybe someone knows if this is similar to C7 Z06 Corvettes.
All Corvettes, all models thru C7 had red lenses for rear brakes and running lights. The exception was the C7 z07. The C07 Z06 had rear lenses that are clear, similar to Bigg's and use LED bulbs that are RED when on. The rear pic of his 1LE looks like lenses are clear. |

Salut, Julien! That's a beautiful car, welcome to the website.
By the way, en anglais nous dison "I am 39 years old", pas "I have 39 years old". Je sais en français c'est le contraire |
