Not from the factory, but that should be an easy mod if you want to do it.

Here's the 2013 SS/1LE compared to 2010 SS

I think they changed the heater hose routing in 12'. Yes that's a factory oil catch can that drains back into the valve cover.

Wait! Where did they get that 400 pound weight difference? Comparing the Boss with a ZL1?

Great review. if any of you are interested in the 1LE getting it's own section here go to the last forum, where suggestions are welcomed and chime in on the 1LE thread. It has been a lonely vigil.

Looks clean doesn't it. As they say, "Naturally aspirated or not, this is the Camaro we've been waiting for." The ZL1 was exciting with all the hype and promises and all, and it is no doubt a good car but this 1LE is the Camaro to have IMHO. Shame the hood isn't painted or CF though...

The one and only time you'll see me use this:

"GM will be offering new goodies in its performance parts catalog that allows older SS owners to build their cars up to this new, wonderful spec." Brilliant. And not something a Mustang GT guy can do to make his car a BOSS, although Ford Racing does have enough parts to come close. As always with a Mustang, it is the suspension that you'll find the letdown... roll on 2014 and a half when all us us should be rolling on IRS. Then again, with any luck I'll have my Aston by then.

Just another misinformed fanboy who threw a jab that missed. The camaro actually weighs in around 4100 lbs so it's quite a bit heavier.

Wrong. Camaro SS weighs 3850-60. Does that make you a fanboy?

Oh by the way, the pic on the right is me kicking the ass of a Boss 302 on a road course.

Not talking about the Gallardo, it's more of an Audi. I don't consider it a real Lamborghini. 3500 lbs isn't light for a "sportscar". It's predecessor was even heavier. yet they are very nimble. Look at what Pete at Pedders has done for the L28...it's a sweet track car.

Oh and BTW, My reference was due to its nimbleness not HP. I figured that was easily understood.

And you accuse me of posting wrong info maybe YOU should do some research and check back with us...
