My 1LE made the cut at Automobile

From the reveal of the 6th Gen Saturday. Automobile Mag picked the 10 coolest Camaros at the reveal...

http://www.automobilemag.com/feature...w-cars-reveal/

From the article:

Matt Jensen was considering buying a Ford Mustang Boss 302 as his next track car, but, "as soon as GM announced the 1LE, I know it was what I wanted." Jensen uses his Camaro 1LE to instruct at track-day events around Michigan, and has added a few subtle tweaks to the car over the years. Upgraded brakes come from the outgoing Cadillac CTS-V, and the black wheels and bolstered driver's seat are from the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. Chevrolet won't officially sell Z/28 parts to any other Camaro owners; Jensen is mum on how he obtained his.

Wow, that is very cool. We will all keep quiet about how those Z/28 seats fell off the truck.

Love the pics highlighting the tow hook. Mine will not fit I do not think with my intercooler in the way. And I needed mine, but still in the box. Luckily the towing damage was minor.

I paid in full for the seat, which is of course available. .

Yes it is! :(. I walked up after the pictures were taken and noticed it. I cleaned it off and told the photographer he could take a clean picture, guess he never did.
