I also noticed that besides the steering wheel and shift knob, the shift boot and armrest seem to be suede as well, very nice.

Agreed.

I also noticed the shift boot and thought the same thing. Super nice touch.

But, the shorter tires show how this car really could use lowering springs, that will be one of my first mods...

And, who the heck is detailing these cars for GM? Because they suck...I hope they aren't done lol.

Yeah, I wonder how or when we're going to be able to lower cars with MRC. It's funny how people / love hate the whole sued trend. I've seen it in other cars and it didn't age well. I could live with it though.

Just search the GT350R test where they compared it with its wheels and GT350 wheels. Difference was huge!

Yes, those wheels are the only reason the GT350R bested the Z/28 by a 1/2 second. The CF wheels could be good for 1-2 seconds on a track.
I also question the strange location...has this track EVER been used before for a major magazine test? Was it chosen by Ford???

The seats are gorgeous, they look so much more comfortable than any racing type seat I've ever seen.

AbsolutHank · 02-11-2016, 12:40 PM

Is this gonna be like the Gen5 ZL1, only one interior combo available for the 1LE?

That green reminds me of Gotta Have It Green a lot. Love it!!!

LesBaer · 02-11-2016, 12:52 PM

I wonder how many people are actually going to buy a car in that color green vs. just saying they like it. It's kind of like a girl you'd meet in a bar....fun for a ride, but not marriage material.

The green is cool, however WHERE'S THE ORANGE???

When I think of Camaro the color (Hugger) Orange always comes to mind.

There is a time for GT350 TP at Chuckwalla 2:00.82, the Z/28 got around that track in 1:58.45, and the GT350R in 1:57.87 So if the 1LE is faster than the TP that puts it right on the heels of the Z/28

I would be VERY VERY VERY surprised if the 1LE comes close to GTR/GT350R/Z28 lap times... those cars come with the stickiest tires available, and suspension setups to handle all that grip. I think if it can take down the GT350(base), it would be a great accomplishment.

I would love to be surprised though!

Nice photos. Thank you!

Edit: if there was ever a performance car that needed a 1" drop...

SYCRAFT says he has put his name in for one at his dealer. I'm not looking to buy another performance car, but if I was I would pull the trigger on that green in a heartbeat.

All you whining about A8...the 1LE is a track car..ya know for people who wanna actually drive. Take your A8 to the strip and revel in your straight lines XD.

You're right, that's what they should've done instead of that green. The green with matte black hood looks like a rip-off of the Hellcat...which happens to be the one selling at the highest premium right now.

If I saw a 1LE in Hugger Orange with those same wheels but in grey (like the old C6 grand sport corvettes), with carbon fiber mirrors, spoiler, and front splitter, I would need to change my underwear lol

Stanced does not mean better lol, if GM has it at that height then that must've been the optimal setting.
