1LE for model year 1988....

They were only available by selecting certain delete options and certain performance options. The end result is a slightly lighter with performance minded equipment installed Camaro.

Becky et al, before you go, two things:

1) HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a TERRIFIC '12!

2) From where did the engineering work come from for the 1LE in '88? Hint: Canadian Racing Series...

Happy New Year to All !!

Starting in Canada, it was the first time with the Canadian Players Challenge where it would grow to include SCCA and
IMSA events in the USA, called Showroom Stock.

as far as engineering involment specifically, there were alot of people..
ie:
Camaro platform chief engineer Chuck Hughess
Hope that's right!

What Chevy passenger car of the 1950's didn't have the fuel filler either:
1) in the tail lamp
2) behind the rear lic plate
3) or on the 1/4 panel ?

PS: Happy new year everyone.
