What is a 1LE?!

[tizzle_ss]

I tell my connect at the dealership that i'm interested in a 2014 1LE... he goes, oh, you mean a ZL1.. we don't sell those, the highest we go is a 2SS... I say, no, i'm talking about a 1LE... he says, me and my manager just searched all over for a reference of a 1LE and can't find anything...

I see references all over google, but no formal explanation of what differentiates it from the 2SS...

So what is it??

Is it a ZL1?

Is it just the term to reference a manual 2SS w/ recaro seats and the npp exhaust?

Where is there a formal list of the diff 2014 V8 models? I keep seeing 1LE referenced, with pics of a vehicle with SS on the grille, but WTF IS IT exactly? Is it just anything that ISN'T the auto SS?

Is it a manual 2SS with upgraded suspension?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

So you asked you dealer for a 1LE without knowing what it is?

I asked him for info so that I could read up on the exact specs. I had in my head what I pretty much understood to be a 1LE.. which is a manual SS with npp exhaust and ground effects. That was the info I gathered from seeing other peoples posts and pictures. I still have yet to see a formal listing of what exactly makes a 2014 Camaro a 1LE.

1LE is a performance package you add to a SS.

1LE is an optional package; not a trim level. Similar to RS.

1 Summer-only tires tend to wear faster and are more susceptible to damage from road hazards or curb impact than standard profile tires. This type of damage is not covered by the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty. You may want to get different tires if you expect to drive in winter conditions. See your dealer for proper tire selection.

I don't know either, but they are sexy as hell!

I think rocket ship tips is an option too

A 1LE in simple terms as stated above is a performance package you add to any 6 speed SS. It takes a regular SS and adds a bunch of ZL1 parts and it equals ALMOST a ZL1 without a supercharger. It has a 3.91 rear end short shifter ZL1 fuel pump ZL1 wheels and front tires ZL1 steering wheel and shift knob and as far as I know a suspension unique to a 1LE among other things.

Sounds to me like the dealer is trying to sell something he has in stock rather than find you a 1LE car.
