The only thing I can agree on here is the cold temps with the tires. Anything else was very clear about the car with a very small amount of research

Im at 18255km (~11k miles) on my stock tires, they do wear faster than most performance tires but with a 200 tread wear rating is anyone surprised? Sounds like someone didnt research what they were buying. If the car was on the lot why didnt you take it out for a drive if you hated it so much so fast it would have been enough.

$43k?
I understand you are in Canada...But two similarly (almost exact) equipped SIM 1LE's were on EPay over last 2 weeks. One with 5200 miles for $35k and one with 120 miles for $34k. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Ca...US_Cars_Trucks http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Chevrol...p2047675.l2557

Even that was easy to find with any research as GM and Goodyear made it public with the release of the tire on the ZL1. Really no excuse to not know what you were buying with this car. With the level of hate this guy has for his 1LE, I dont veen think he is in the right TYPE of car. I dont think even a regular SS is what he needs, cant see him being much happier.

Yes it is the law. My car is in storage for the winter so its legal in spring, summer, fall. Fall temperatures though make the tires too hard and brittle as reported by GM. Quote:

You know, the 6 CYL's are not a bad idea. They are much less expensive, use less gas, are cheaper to insure, have a comfortable - yet - firm ride. The 6 cylinder camaro is quite nice and frankly now more appealing than an 8. |

Isn't this the same guy who was going to sell his Camaro because he felt guilty about the BP gulf oil spill...?

So here's the thing folks. You like you Camaros and thats fine, so do I, but my opinion of the 1LE that it is a very uncomfortable and expensive ride except for the most die-hard enthusiast. And my opinion matters a little, because I've owned lots of cars, and dozens of others for days at time thanks to lots of travelling and car rental places. Take it to heart or ignore it, no problem for me. Peace. |

So no, owning a Camaro isn't an enjoyable experience for me at all. |

So you bought a car with the track package option, but have not taken it on the track, and are now you’re unhappy with it.
Before getting rid of it, why not take it to the track and find out why it’s made the way it is. Believe me, it will be a revelation, and it may restore your love for the car. |
