Come on GM, give me a 1LE! The SS looks great and surely will perform well, but a little more attitude and track capability will be just awesome! I'm the guy who had my 2014 1LT RS trashed by YOUNG kids and need a replacement. I'm PO'd and have decided its time for something more aggressive. Give me 1LE!!!!

No 1LE yet, but they could easily do a tow hook thing when they decide to produce one... |

...oh, another thought....
I'm still not sure what to make of this spoiler that we are seeing....The V-6 version almost looks more like the Z/28 spoiler than the one they put on the new SS...The cars seem similar enough that for track duty, I would think the spoiler would be more like what the current Z/28 is using... Just sayin', maybe the 1LE could offer additional aero/rear spoiler technology...adjustable, perhaps... |

In the Q & A on the facebook page. Someone asked about the spoiler and it was stated that there would be options for people to choose from. Hopefully I nice dovetail is an option.

I was wondering the same about the 1LE especially after reading this excerpt from the Hot Rod article. Regardless of the model name, I don't think we'll see 3 hi-perf options like we did on the 5th gen. My .02.

I'm sure the PDR will come for the second model year and looks like wet sump only for the Camaro LT1.

Not sure I would order a 15. How would you feel about building a car that you know as soon as it run is over you are out of job? It looks like the Camaro crew in Canada may be getting laid off. Probably allot of unhappy people up there right now.

Anyone notice the track pack option for non-ss cars? Seems to be a lof the coolers we saw in the previous 1LE.

So if the 6th SS is as good as the current 1LE, is there a purpose for a 1LE then?
I just hope that there is one offered right away. |

My thoughts. The 1LE is not a model, it is a suspension package for a SS. Given the new suspension options with the Gen6, including MRC, the need for a package like the 1LE is not required to achieve similar results on a track. I could see where a stiffer non-MRC package might be desirable to a few buyers, but I'm not sure GM would consider it a good investment of their engineering time and R&D dollars to do. I also have my doubts we will see a Gen6 z/28, at least not a track-specific car like we saw with the 5thGen.

Hopefully there is the 1LE pack available to make a great 6th gen Camaro even better. Fingers crossed!!

My wish list for 1LE:
Smaller (yes, smaller) wheels for weight savings (18 inch would do just fine) Wider, stickier, non-runflat, same size tires on all 4 corners to eliminate under-steer Dry sump oil system Smaller battery in the trunk (don't know where the battery is for normal SS...) Weight savings by deleting some options (like leather seats, rear seats, ambient lighting, etc...) Recaro seats or competition seats from C7 Heavy duty clutch with better ratio gears Some aero kits I can't wait any longer than end of this year, so I'm going to pick up 2SS without 1LE, but it would be nice to see hardcore track pack Camaro 1LE, like the Boss 302 Laguna Seca edition. |
