Keeping my car, it's just such a pleasure to drive.

HOJO · 03-18-2016, 05:51 PM

Keep it. It'll be paid for by then. If I had money to burn it may be different. Then again maybe not, I love my ride and ordered it the way I wanted it. Not trying to keep up wit th the Jones'. Lol

PapaKlutch · 03-18-2016, 05:57 PM

Keeping my '15.

I buy them, mod them and hang on to them for quite a while.

And, while I'm happy with the new platform, weight loss, power and so on, I'm really disappointed with the exterior of the 6th gen.

THIS ,AND IF YOU DON'T THINK THIS LOOKS SEXY GET YOUR EYES EXAMINED .

Pushrod Pete · 03-18-2016, 06:02 PM

i had a last minute change of heart. i am keeping my 1le. after driving the 6th gen camaro, i felt disconnected from the car. i dont know if it was the MRC or the myriad of technology in the car, but i love the raw, visceral characteristics of the 5th gen 1LE.

kmdracer · 03-18-2016, 07:21 PM

Easy answer. Keeping my 15 1LE. Even if I won lotto, lol. I'll put it on a diet, make some chnges, etc, etc. I had my last Camaro for 10 years. Plan to keep this one longer. May wind up being the last new car I buy.

AGM 1LE · 03-18-2016, 07:40 PM

Keeping mine, I like the body and interior of mine and it looks great. With the Z/28 coils and sways im in the process of putting on, the C7Z06 brakes and the 475whp, I'm good.

raptor5244 · 03-18-2016, 08:01 PM

The question is will the new Gen 6 make you any happier? Some people just need to know on paper that their car has better specs but they never actually push the car to its limits to even know what those performance specs really mean.

rgrmoreira13 · 03-18-2016, 09:39 PM

I am keeping my 1LE. I had to go toe to toe with my wife to upgrade from 1LS to a 1LE. So this car is here to stay and hopefully when I get older and my kids are a bit older I can hand it down to them and they can have their fun.

1leNPP · 03-18-2016, 10:20 PM

Well I keep saying I am going to get a GT350 and now the new 2017 GS corvette they are on the want to buy list . The thing of it is my 1LE is such a good all round car .The car looks good, handles great, I got the ride high right were I want and the car still ride good and that is a every big deal for me.

Than there other things are, it a 2013 1LE they only made 1,826 of them so when I see one its always a 14/15 1LE . Than every time I get in the car and you hear the NPP exhaust, roll the car into a conner and you feel the grip level the car has. The trans and the shifter kick ass . Its one the best OEM trans and shifter I use in 40 years of driving manual transmissions . If I need to I can put a human being in the back seat of my 5gen and they will live ( not so in a 6gen). Its also has kick ass handling and you can not say that enough about a 5gen 1LE . Then there the MSPR for my car $38,224 , O and you get a TRANS & OIL cooler to at that price, Mustang NOT!!!!. There just not anything out there that handles as good as a 1LE and you can get all the toys you want on the car with the price point it had. That is why I just can not bring my self to selling it . I think what I end up doing is going and buying another car to drive to keep the miles down on the 1LE but hell I like driving it to much .

PlatinumIce · 03-18-2016, 10:29 PM

My 1LE is here to stay, invested in modding her and she is incredible awesome car. So in 2-3 yrs may look at getting the new ZL1 but my 1LE stays. That ZL1 is sexy looking as hell tho.

CamaroDreams76 · 03-18-2016, 10:31 PM

If I had the money o could go ZR1. Thats my dream car. But I wouldn't get rid of my 1LE.

cajun1le · 03-19-2016, 01:17 AM

If you can make the switch/purchase and still stay within your means, then by all means do it (treat yourself).

In a not so similar situation, I'm in the process of deciding what to do for my next daily driver (present vehicle is 16 years old). I am seriously considering picking up a 2017-18 ZL1 and keeping the 1LE as a fun weekender because the car is such a joy to drive around.
