Got ya

Your teeth would have to combine in a gazillion watt smile for anyone to notice the two of you standing next to a pair of ZL1s and Kate.

Not to be to picky but could one of the Camaros be a Z/28?

Yes...but then you wouldn't need the teeth whitener......your ultra-perma-grin would outshine Kate's klieg lights!

I can see why they're saving the money on recertifying. We already love it. The mags and this site will show what it can do.

Yes to have a thread that gets that much attention ANNNNND that only uses posts of beautiful women when it is necessary to futher the discussion or enhance a point on topic ANNNNND only has moderator involvement when they drop in to say "Hola!!" is pretty amazing.

I think some are missing the point of the 1LE. It is a beefed up track package with a more robust suspension AND driveline with better handling. With the tires it should eliminate/reduce the understeer complaint and be a really fun toy on a track day for those that don't want to or can't blow the coin on the ZL1.

Not that it's anything Pete can't hook you up with for your SS for the chassis upgrades, but for a limited number of people it probably hits the mark to have a more robust driveline and chassis.

BTW, do you think the folks that dropped SCs on their SSs and didn't visit Pete might like this package as their starting point?

Well said as usual. It more than 1 ups its competition the GT Track Pack.

I most like the lower ratio trans and rear axle gearing on the 1LE. It's a step in the right direction towards....uhemmm...well, you know...

And still no Gen5 Z28 to be seen anywhere! What are the odds.

It is pretty dang amazing. After all this time it still has that "homey" feel to it.

I completely agree!

If there is a Gen 5 Z/28, I doubt there will be much said about it before release.

You are right Number3, I am one of those that is missing the point..if we are talking about a car that would be fun on a track day, why wouldn't we call it a Z/28? Only us nutjobs that breathe, eat and sleep this stuff actually know what a 1LE is...wouldn't it make more sense from a marketing standpoint to have a SS+1LE+480-500HP NA and call it a Z/28 that the entire world would recognize the name and buy it just because of the name? Sure not all of US would be happy but a lot would settle on the fact we have our unicorn and as close as we are gonna get to the "real thing" as we are gonna get in a 5th Gen?

I am lucky to have built four unicorn 5th Gens. The next build is going to be a longhorn with big...



and a very bad attitude.
