from what i have heard regarding dealerships and ordering Camaros is: 1. somewhere on forums I've seen someone mention that a dealer can no longer special order a 13 now.. BUT they CAN make a regular inventory order on 13's. 2. a dealer rep told me that certain dealerships have privileges in regards to special orders.. something about meeting a quota before being allowed this. (up in the air if this is reliable, but then again its a given noting the source) I was really intent on getting my car the way i wanted it and came across these bits of information. It will be a headache trying to get these dealers to do what you want.. One dealership tried to lie to me twice before i told them to cut it out telling them i'd gladly call the other dealership or chevy themselves Last edited by RonnieG; 06-07-2013 at 04:06 PM.

I have one on my '11 SS and will have one on the '14 I just ordered. I refer to it as my vertical observation/communication port.

I think the average 1LE owner/buyer is a person who would do a slightly overboard modded suspension for the street that he could occasionally take to the track. Well at least that's me.
When I test drove a stock SS I was quite disappointed. I started looking into buying a used SS then factored in the ragging it would have taken prior to my ownership and thought about how much I would have to add to get the suspension where I wanted it. Then I looked at the 1LE package and realized that it was maybe a grand away from where it needed to be suspension wise (springs and assorted bushings maybe a sway bar) and thought about how I would get the latest of everything plus the fuel pump, tank pick ups, rear gears, improved transmission gearing, killer wheels and tires, plus strengthened drivetrain parts, nicer interior trim and wheel plus the shifter etc. All for $3500, seriously it can't be beat for less. Can it's track times be beat with a full coil over suspension? Absolutely, but the expenditure will be way more and then the 1LE will still have a leg up because Coil Overs can be added and someone else will have to mod all the other stuff. Flat out if you have an existing SS and have modded it roll with what you got. If you are starting from new, it's ridiculous to not buy a 1LE. If like me you want a street brawler that can hang in the turns and give you a civilized "Race Car" feel the 1LE was a no brainer. I'm going to mod my 1LE but there are a lot of things that I don't have to worry about because I got a 1LE. Also if I wanted a drag car I wouldn't get a 1LE. Totally different beast. So in summary. If you don't own one or have driven one enough to know what the car is all about stop hating. The 1LE owners know what they have and what they don't. Also if you look a the R&T test and the cars that are around it and then the ones below it in track times you can't deny that the car is legit. |

Doesn't it have .95 G+ capabilities? That's pretty serious for a street car!
