Car is black. It will be on Xa coilovers as soon as I get it. We'll add some red accents. Bridgestone RE-11 on Forgelines with red inner and outer barrels.
There has to be a way to bump the boost a bit. Brakes, bars... I don't want to take it too far, just add a little touch here and there. |

Hey JP.... In your opinion do you think the 1LE as described would be able to compete with a Boss?

I was just looking at some lap time's and the 2011 Boss (non LS) smashed the SS's laptime at Laguna Seca by 5 seconds. Granted the 1LE has more goodies than a SS but it will have around the same power. Glad I asked..... Sometimes I like to be wrong. |

The suspension and brake upgrades on the 1LE are a big step up from the SS. An FE4 is a big step up from the 2010 - 11 FE3. |

ShnOman, no one's gonna paddle your hiney...
I've become a "convert"...as I see the potential (italix'd) of the 1LE being at least a match to the Base BOSS and, depending on "final details", an equal to the LS. How? MG9 and 3.73 wake up the LS3. Ram Air/extractor hood with cai-type "interface" adds some "beans". Dual-Mode adds some more. A 1LE-specific tune (to somewhat maximize the preceding add-ons) makes it all come out about 440-ish. ZL1 add-ons, down low (had to throw that in)... ZL1 vs. BOSS LS = 2.5 seconds (on a short, tightish course), which we all understand is "otherworldly". 150 fewer pounds in the Camaro saves some more...and 140 hp gives a chunk back... Pete's right..."driver's race". LS7 for a clear win... 1LE for VOLUME, like the Base BOSS. And who knows about a ZEE?! BUT.................(is that enough dots to connect?)..........a ZEE would merely be a transplant away...(if not a whole Generation) |
