Not really, it's a road racing car. That's what the original was built for and so is this one. Automatics aren't as well suited for road racing, unless it's he high end dual clutch paddle shifting nonsense the imports love.

Booooosted.

This is awesome. Kudos to GM but the name for it is horrible.
1LE? Why make it blend into everything else. Non Camaro people will get it confused when talking about it. |

Heritage name? People who don't know Camaros don't know the significance of the ZL1 either?

No need to reinvent the wheel. Wow... Love the comment Sniper! This IS a great offering from GM! What more could "an SS person" want? Improved exhaust, handling, suspension, style, performance! There is a lot of folks perfectly content with 426 HP that will be all over this! It certainly seems that it will "fill that gap" many have wanted up to and until "The Icon" returns! PS: 3:91 final ratio is awesome! |

Hot Damn, is this car hot!!! I mean, HOT!!!
An SS than can really handle! Not that the stock SS couldn't but this baby's gonna handle like it's on rails! A cornering beast out of the box that us plebeians can afford! |

Ugh this is why I hate buying with the first 2 years of a new model. All the cool stuff comes out and what should have been in the original model.

So now the only thing I'd like to see in the 2013 Camaro is the proximity key and I'll be completely happy. The entertainment center is huge for me, I've been waiting for this for a while. I'm extremely pleased that Chevy has finally added this.

Autos don't serve a driver well when running through a road course. I'd say even with paddle shifters it's not engineered to constantly row through gears at high RPMS, downshifting through corners, upshifting on the straights, and using the engine for braking. The 6060 going into the 1LE is purpose built for constant up and down shifting at high revs and hot temps. You try that on any automatic except for maybe a purpose built dual clutch F1 style transmission, and you're going to cook the fluid. |

It should come with MRC
But most importantly, cool to see all the parts we can retrofit onto our cars. The nav is sweet, hope its good But most importantly, that rear diffuser!
