Exclamation New 2015 CRT 1LE Driver here! Hello Camaro5!

Finding a 1LE here in the West Coast was a bit of a challenge, but after a solid month and a half of looking, I managed to find a 2015 CRT 1LE with low miles, and almost all the options checked off

First off, the car pull's like a freight train, all the way up to redline. It's intoxicating. Great steering feel at higher speeds, below 15 it's too easy and needs more feel. I'll attribute this to the electric assisted steering. Coming from a BMW, the car drives beautifully, corners great, and the LS3 is one hell of an engine. The Recaro seats are worth every cent.

The bad? Pedals. Heal toe is hard, almost too hard. The throttle is too deep to the floor and the throttle is too far from the brake.


Here is the check that I've got for the ride...Happy Modding

+ Z28 Intake - Installed
+ Elite Catch Can - Installed
+ Removed the rear Chevy logo - Installed

...and coming soon

+ Z28 Carbon Diffuser
+ NPP Exhaust
+*Stainless Steel Brake lines + new fluid
+ CGAS, SSE Eliminator - or whatever the annoying 1-4 shift is called
+ Oil cooler? might mess up warranty?

Here she is!

Crystal red is starting to grow on me. The car looks great. I think the pedals are pretty close, coming from an 03 stang.

Beautiful, good find.. I have never been good at heel toe, my shoes are too big, I stick to the blip and double clutch on the downshift and it works great..
You can tweak the throttle response and feel with the vitesse throttle controller, personally I've never driven anything better than my Camaro.. So, you know.. It's all relative.
The more I'm seeing the z28 CAI the more I like it.. Might have to make the list...

Welcome to the forum!

I can agree 100% on the hard to heel-toe downshifts with stock pedals. You can get some aftermarket pedals to help cure that.

Great looking car!! Welcome!! You forgot to check the box that says: Permagrin installed -check!

Thanks all.

Picked up some pedals today too - I like the black look of the anodized finish + the milled / exposed Aluminum. The extension of the gas should help out a lot.
