Ok, good article and again reinforces my choice in buying the 1LE Camaro, but it appears as though the author made some pretty simple mistakes.

He indicated that their car came with optional recaros... uh, recaros are standard with the 1LE. He also failed to mention that the 1LE wheels are forged but mentioned that the PP1 package gets you aluminum wheels. Yeah, not forged.

At first it looked like he was really trying not to embarrass the mustang.

Would have been even better to list everything you get with the 1LE on top of approaching super car handling like brembos front and rear (front only for the ford), forged wheels, recaros, suede, flat bottom steering wheel, short throw shifter, and the other stuff mentioned all for less money than the overpriced Mustang. That would even more clearly illustrate what an ultimate performance bargain the 1LE Camaro is.

Regarding the interior of the Mustang being 2 grand nicer? I disagree. I've sat in a 2018 Mustang and it isn't unless you opt for the nearly 2 grand more expensive premium plus package and even then, it's just a bunch of Ford eather on everything. You can now get a suede and carbon package in the mustang but it too is extra. I still like the simplicity of the Camaro interior and love the included Suede and leather combo.

It almost seemed like the author was in pain having to write that the Camaro destroyed the Mustang but just couldn't deny the test data.

I'll say it again, the Camaro 1LE is simply amazing especially considering the price.

I never thought that I would ever have a chance to feel what it's like to drive a super car, but I guess I do thanks to this car!
