You will likely be able to buy the parts from the '17 1LE (should such a thing exist), and put them on your SS. You could even call it a '16 1LE if you wanted to. (Of course those who have a '17 1LE might clown on you for it.)

On this subject, they get the max grade because they gave us what we asked for. The car is still as large or larger than the most direct competition, with more standard equipment, and more standard performance equipment, and came in weight slightly less....all the while remaining very close to the size of the 5th gen. Many of us (including myself) asked for a slightly smaller car, and that's what we got. So yes...they get the grade.

The new base engine is a turbo isn't it vs. the 2.5 L NA? I'm not sure there was 300 pounds of weight loss there. A good chunk, I agree, but not remotely close to all 300 pounds. I think the new engine probably only weighs 300 pounds.

Are you morons serious?
Then explain to everyone in the class how the car consistently dyno's well over 630 to 650 to wheels STOCK and still achieve through a standard tranmission or a "regular" trans with a torque converter? The only way is if dodge somehow produced a miracle and their drivetrain only eats up 10%. Sae dont mean a damn thing guy. Nissan with their gtr, ford with the 2013 shelby, bmw with the m4, etc. Etc Etc... all engines are underrated from factory and yet they all have a sae rating. I guess they also have magical drivetrains as well.

If it is more plausible to you that SAE testing is a joke, and Bubba's dyno/paint shop/bait and tackle is a more true indicator of these car's output...then by all means believe it. Go ahead and believe the moon landings were faked, JFK was shot by a gunman on the grassy knoll, and Diet Coke tastes just like regular Coke. Those ideas certainly appeal to people who don't understand scientific analysis. BTW, it's 1% of SAE rating in their tests under their specified conditions, not on Bubba's dyno....keep that in mind.

Official Performance Specs for 2016 Camaro: SS hits 0-60 in 4.0 sec, 3685 lbs

Let's approach your under rated argument from a different perspective. 1. What reason would you have to under rate a 707 (or as some think 750) hp engine? 2. If SAE is BS then why has it become the standard? Keeping in mind that a 707 hp car is no cheaper for insurance. And SAW ratings are not required and unless they started to recently, BMW doesn't use SAE ratings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
