Sounds like a manual, as it should.

The Camaro was the more expensive car for the fifth generation. How did that turn out? |

I loved that car but the inside design and materials left a lot to be desired and we all know the most important buyers for our pony cars to stay in production is satisfying women who buy way more than we the enthusiast. We lost due to this narrow focus on performance and no regards to creature comfort. GM's culture back then was that they knew what the customer wanted because they had been on top for so long and thought that we would buy whatever they forced fed us and some were crappy designs or executions for sure on a lot of cars. They lost their way for more than a decade and it didn't help matters much that they put more investment money into trucks and suv's which were and still are cash cows. They pretty much ignored the car lineup and left some to wilt and die. That trend will not happen again as long as the current team has anything to say about it, you can bet on that. See 6th gen Camaro for proof of this if you need to.

wow....another new video of a "new" car. Certainly seems like 1LE is the best fit for this car to me. Wider rims/tires, brakes, and likely suspension (unless MRC becomes part of the 1LE package) and some aero bits.
I can see all of that becoming part of a 1LE package for roughly the same cost (maybe a bit more) as the 5th gen 1LE package costs. I think it would be an awesome package. Quote:
May go up...maybe not. Depends on what they do. If Ford decides to increase power and do other changes, then yes...price will go up. Or they could decide to keep the base GT the same, but introduce some sort of track oriented package (above PP) that includes suspension, brakes, gearing, and more.

It's all in the MRC programming. If it works really really well for the z06, It will be just fine (great actually) in the 1le and z/28 zl1. Leverage your assets. |

My only point was that Ford is the king where it counts right now, SALES. Until that changes, they will not lose any sleep. And that will not be known for a few months until Camaros are filling dealer lots and the hopeful sales boom begins.

And I have a 5th gen 1LE and can't wait to see the 6th Gen version. I hope it does not become a watered down version of the 1LE. I love the fact that it is a small portion of the sales that doesn't appeal to the masses.

This! Please do not water it down to where it becomes a large portion of the SS sales.

I don't see any signs of them watering down anything, looks like they are going for the kill.
