it was the most fun car I ever owned.
Sadly, I sold it 2 years ago. I have been searching for a replacement ever since.
My questions are really for a person who came from a Boss Mustang into Gen 6 1LE.
What are your thoughts?? Is the 1LE as much fun to drive?? More comfortable?? What things do you really like?? What things are not so great??
Reading the reviews (I have read a ton) the 1LE looks to have all the performance numbers matched or beat. I am looking to hear more about the cars character, driving dynamics or just plain fun.
I did drive a 2019 Camaro 1SS 1LE on a very short test run a couple years ago.
I do remember liking the transmission/shifter/clutch combo a lot. I didn't have a chance to go for a GOOD drive.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you are, but unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience with a Boss Mustang. I have however been looking at a Camaro SS 1LE for several years now. And in my opinion there is no better bang for the buck than the SS 1LE in terms of performance cars. I almost bought one in 2019, but instead ended up purchasing a new SUV.
I currently own a 2003 Nissan 350Z that is highly modified (and the best handling car I've ever owned) and a 2009 BMW 135i that is also modded and has a tune. I've also owned a C6 Z51 Corvette and a 370Z in the last 15 years. I've held on to the BMW because I really hadn't found another car that I felt was significantly more fun to drive than the BMW that didn't cost a fortune. But every time I looked at something new I kept coming back to the SS 1LE. So a couple of weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger on a 22 SS 1LE. I'm going to miss the BMW, but I can't wait for the new 1LE.
