I agree. I don't see the 6th gen regular SS equaling the current 1LE in the handling/track department. The current SS really isn't a bad handler like some would like to think it is. The 2012 model was a nice leap forward in that department. That said, I would suspect the 6th gen to feel lighter on its feet, and should equal or surpass the current SS for sure, just not the 1LE.

I DO think they should make a track pack available for the Camaro from day one, like how Mustang offers the PP for the GT, and it SHOULD match the 1LE or better it. I think it would be a mistake to wait a year or two to offer a good handling package, but wouldn't surprise me if they did.
