Things your often asked as a 1LE owner...
"Did you do the Matt-black hood wrap yourself?"
"Where did you get those wheels?" "Does it have a stick?" "Those hood vents don't really do anything, do they?" (14-15) "How much horsepower does it have?" (Then again, maybe everyone gets that question if their car has more than 6 cylinders.) "That's a nice... Challenger, right?" Am I the only one who's gotten these questions, and have I missed any? I'd put "What's a 1LE?", but honestly, no one's ever asked me that IRL. |

other day as I my car was running, about to leave a parking space, with the windows down, a guy stuck his head in the passenger window and asked "Is that a V8?" Mind you, I have 1LE, SS badges on the car, npp exhaust and he was an older gentlemen so it threw me off. I was like "yep" and he said GREAT!, because the V6 is a bitch car.

Sadly, those are all pretty standard questions heard by most 1LE owners. In my experience, even most Camaro owners don't know what 1LE means.
1. Clueless 5th gen V6 1LT owner in a parking lot says to me: "I have a 1LE, too!" 2. As a 15 CRT 1LE entered a parking lot, I commented to a 5th gen owner who I'd known for about a year (in fact, he has owned two V8 5th gens), "Hey, nice looking 1LE arriving." He replied, "What's a 1LE?"

I've gotten all of those except the 14/15 hood vent question. Even gotten the what's a 1LE question
Most common ones are is it a v8, is it stick, and how much power.

I picked my 1LE UP IN OCTOBER OF 13, it’s a 14 though. Young kid comes up and says, is that a new Z28. I said no, it’s a 1LE. Had to explain a 1LE to him. Darn younger generation. Lol

I'm 20 so I'm pretty young but a huge car enthusiast. I admit MOST younger folk don't have a clue, and that's really sad

LOL! I grew up in the Eighties, early nineties, concerning 1LE's, we would ask...
1.) Does it have A/C? If it does it's not a 1LE.... 2.) Does it have a radio? If it does it's not a 1LE.... 3.) does it have power options, such as windows and locks? If it does it's not a 1LE.... The new 1LE designation is hilarious to me. A 1LE means no power or convienence options at all, period. It's a street race car, that's it period! |

Agreed. I educate exactly zero of them.

In truth, I bought a 5th gen 1LE for everything it comes with that makes it a great track toy, as well as a street car. Before I bought this car, I had a deposit on a Boss 302. A non-1LE SS wasn't even an option for me. Dealers and salesmen were clueless as to why. But, then again, I'm a millennial... according the the media, I ruin everything. |
