Huddle up, need info
Ok Ive had the 1LE now about 6 months and Im loving it, but I have 2 issues or concerns I wanted to see if you guys had any knowledge on.
1. With rev match on, it seems to blip the throttle upon up shifts..??? Most commonly from the 2-3. Anyone ever had this issue? 2. Didnt realize this car sits that much lower then my mustang and Ive scraped going into driveways, I know for certain its not the chin spoiler or side skirts from what I can tell, so does anyone know if there is a plastic covering under the engine that might be hitting, if not whats the lowest point towards the front of the car roughly between the front wheels. |

1. I don't have that up shift problem. Maybe you got too close to the lower gear (1st) on your way to the higher gear?
2. It's pretty nicely flushed down there around the engine if I remember correctly. I have no idea. Your side rockers are the lowest part... I think. |

Ty for those pics, I would bet money its that plastic shroud that is hitting, as for the shifting idk it started out of no where and seems to happen more. Maybe time for a dealer visit.

If I remember correctly the lowest point is right in front of the wheels with the rubber deflectors. My 5th gen always rubs right there. I have not received my Gen6 1LE yet so I can't confirm that the Gen6 SS 1LE has these installed. I have highlighted the part in the photo.
*Note: Not sure if it is a 1LE (Pictured), I believe it is based on the brake package. Might not be since that brake package can be added on...

1LEs don't have those air deflectors on them because they're almost 1.5" lower than a standard SS.

I used to be Dragoneye...

Mine rubs on the center forward air dam, or the trans-cooler shroud. Both sit about an inch lower than the rest of the car up there. But I don't think the SS 1LEs have those parts...all of my past cars usually rub/rubbed on those forward tire air deflectors...but if this one don't have any of those, either...
Next time you rub, on a driveway for example, if it's safe - get out and look at what's touching. I'm kind of curious! |
