Wow tough call....... Before ordering our 1LE we shopped hard for a Boss, the LS just wasn't an option as pricing on both were non-negotiable with dealers in my area. Obviously in the end we went with the 1LE even over a ZL1 when the dealership owner offered one at a great price.

I'm more of a bow-tie guy than blue oval, the Boss & LS really peaked my interest but the Camaro won out once again.

I'd like to give a Boss LS a try though if offered for a reasonable price.

The one 1le is the best performance per dollar car on the market right now. In the lightning lap it was beating new m5's/m6's. MY friend's picking up a 14 white one soon!

Thanks, it was kind of tough to let the boss go, but the ZL1 seems like a better choice for me as a dd and a few hpde track days a year at daytona/sebring. And I am actually coming out ahead on wait I paid for the boss

I drove the Boss LS thinking it would be the ideal track car. It was disappointing. It is light but it is way down on power and on paper the cornering is only slightly better than the ZL1. In reality it just cannot hang, the mag suspension and supercharger in the ZL1 more than make up for the weight difference. You made a good choice.

Yea brakes aren't that good in the boss. Look at magazine review data and some talk with my friends at hpde the boss is only faster through slow corners because of weight. The ZL1 is more balanced and grippy at the limit and doesn't have crazy verticle motion the boss has that negates confidence on bump tracks(like sebring).

Camaro gets delivered Saturday night
