As has been stated numerous times, but apparently not fully accepted, the SS-1LE is more DIRECTLY equivalent to a GT 5.0 with Track Pack. BOTH are upgrades to the Base V8 Models.
There are reasons why the 1LE is NOT called a Z28. If/When a Z28 appears, the BOSS will "know" a true "competitor" has arrived Yeah that's great and all, but why should our hallowed Z/28 be compared to a car that is no longer in production? If GM waits till Ford is done making the Boss 302 to come out with the Z/28 then what's the point? Maybe so it won't have a competitor and therefore not hurt it's sales? Sure seems like putting their tail between their legs and waiting for their master to leave to start jumping around. |

And exactly where was this quote of GM? Please substantiate. The ONLY thing that I'm aware of, that could possibly be construed (or twisted) in that manner, was in the Press Release, Page 1 of this thread, indicating a sub-3:00 lap @ VIR. That is quicker that last year's Lightning Lap time turned in by the BOSS LS. So, where is your direct quote that "they list the competitor for the 1LE to not only be the boss 302, but the boss 302 LS edition". |

New one on me. Hadn't seen that.
Road course performance? Pretty close, imho. 1/4-mile? We'll see. Of course an LS7 and a name change would adequately insure BOTH. |

Wouldn't expect much in the quarter mile from the 1LE. GM has already stated in the new brochure that the 1LE and regular ole SS have the same time. Plenty quick for me though. I expect the roadcourse numbers to be pretty close to the Boss.

You, me and everyone here knows an LS7 is never going to see its way into a Gen5 Camaro direct from the factory. I don't understand why people continue to put it out there.

Why? Because it is the best answer to how to build a 5th gen Z/28. How can GM revive the Camaro and leave out the most iconic version of it?

I am updating this information because it looks when I did this calculation I made a mistake. Since the 1LE will be running 285/35-20 on the rear instead of 305/35-20 like the ZL1 it looks like the wheels are 27.9" tall. The SS are 28.7" tall which makes a difference in gearing. If this new information is correct. Here is the updated numbers I got:
Camaro SS: 1st: 54 mph 2nd: 79 mph 3rd: 114 mph 4th: 163 mph 5th: 194 mph 6th: 287 mph Camaro 1LE: 1st: 53 mph 2nd: 79 mph 3rd: 108mph 4th: 140 mph 5th: 189 mph 6th: 280 mph Quote:
