The 1LE is going to be a better starting point because of the rear end and trans gearing plus better suspension. UNLESS, you are talking about going hard core and ripping all that out anyways. Then I would get an L99 SS.

I think the first question is whether or not he wants a manual or auto since the 1LE is manual only.

manual for sure i race with the UMTR stick cars only.
i dont think anytime soon i will be gutting the rear end maybe a ways in the future it will get a 9" and it will be a track only car. i do like the wheels better on the 1le but those will get changed when i need new tires. for now i just want more of a street car. if header a cam and a tune can get me into the lower 12's thats perfect that is less than 3500 im sure but if i did that with the 1le it would be a little faster unless the suspension is that bad for drag racing |

Though real world results have shown otherwise, the 1LE in theory should be faster on the drag strip than the regular SS. It is a bit lighter, comes with better/wider tires from the factory, and has better gearing. It should be on average at least 1-2 tenths and 1-2mph faster in the 1/4 mile than a regular SS. But for some reason actual track results show them to be about the same. I think motortrend trapped 112mph with their 1LE which is what I think should be the norm for all 1LEs but it's typically 107-110mph just like a regular SS.
It is set up more for road racing, but mod for mod it seems to be equal with a regular SS on the drag strip. And you still get the better handling and better looks.

I had it to the track once since I have owned it but got rained out before i could make a pass so I don't know what numbers I would run other than what the internet says. You said that you plan on turning it into a track only car so that means eventually you are going to change the suspension and drive train so I would think your better off saving the money and putting it into other things unless you want a car with a great drive train and suspension right off the bat.

I don't believe there is a hp boost for Camaro w/ NPP. There is for the Vette, yes.

The 1LE does come with a different air filter though.
