Some Questions for 1LE Owners
Hey Guys,
I just registered with Camaro5, but have been reading and lurking for a couple years. I've wanted a 5th gen camaro for a long time, and have finally decided to pull the trigger with the recent addition of the navigation screen and the 1LE package. I currently drive an ’08 Silverado with the SS suspension package, and a ’99 Firebird T/A WS6. I had a few questions regarding the 1LE package that I was hoping some of you may be able to answer for me:
Cheers! |

1. I haven't had any issues with the transmission yet. This is the first car I've had with a manual transmission (aside from driving my Uncle's Corvette and my dad's) but I haven't noticed anything off about the gear-changing yet. I did read some threads about it, but I haven't experienced it yet
2. The suspension isn't nearly as bad as I would have expected. It's a stiff ride, but easily capable of being a daily driver. Just gotta watch out for potholes and manhole covers, cuz you'll definitely feel them. 3. 6th gear is really like an overdrive gear....I've cruised at 75 mph down the Parkway at under 2000 rpm. 4. I have not tried removing the vinyl from the hood and I don't plan on it. Forgot the last question lol: 5. The Dual-Mode Exhaust is the same one available for the SS and the same one stock on the ZL1/Corvette. It's awesome. The engine note sounds amazing and I couldn't be happier. No need for aftermarket exhaust parts for a while. I haven't tried the fuse-pull, but I've heard of people doing it without a problem Hope this helps

That's awesome, thanks sniper for your feedback.
How do you like the NPP exhaust? |

I love it, could not be happier. Amazing engine note. Haven't tried pulling the fuse yet but I have seen a few people on the forum have, hopefully they'll chime in too.

While waiting for mine to be delivered I went to the dealer and test drove a ss with the npp exhaust and I left there impressed and with the big smile.

Gotta Love this Car
Looks like snow tonight so most likely put away for the winter but I've put on 800 miles since Nov.3rd.
Tranny absolutely no issuses, shifts very smooth, most of the 2nd gear grind has been in the mm10 on the SS's i think. The Ride, the ride is alot smoother than I expected, Just traded in a 2011 avalanche LTZ w/air ride for a 12 silverado & 13 SS 1LE. Would not hesitate to jump in this car & cruise to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend. I wouldn't even consider taking the truck. RPM's In sixth gear doing anything less than 65 this thing is just loping along. The Hood I won't touch it,everybody Loves the hood that sees it The NPP exhaust. Worth every penny. Sounds great when your'e into the throttle & slip into stealth mode when you want to. have not pulled the fuse in the trunk yet.(maybe in the spring) |

I love the 1LE but dont like the black hood. Would also like to know if anyone has pulked the vinyl. I wish Chevy would gives a credit if we dont want it and not install it.

You now have to post pics, was there a lot of residual left on the hood?

Holy crap! Left the house this morning to buy a printer and came home with a new 2SS 1LE! Dealer had one the buyer backed out of. I still can't believe it is in my garage.
