According to the Motor Authority article the cheapest you can get the V-6 1LE for is $32,895 which is a bit cheaper then the initially anticipated price of around $35,000 for the car. That makes it a really good deal, if only someone had a head and cam package for that engine that took it to about 8,000rpms and a bit more power then it would be perfect.

Since the OP has apparently abandoned the thread, could a Mod please take all of the other reviews posted in the thread and add them to the OP?

The SS is only 150 lb heavier than the 1LE version of the V6 camaro, not 250. The links below are the only available base SS manual and V6 1LE datapoints I'm aware of.
Base SS manual: 3672 lb V6 1LE: 3516 lb http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-...t-test-review/ http://www.caranddriver.com/features...p-2016-feature |

Right behind you on your taste about the rims!! I thought the same thing about the Gen5 Z/28 rims, and still do. I corrected your 'hot' to 'got' spelling in the reply, hope you don't mind.

Can someone explain to me something about the features of the 1LE that you hear these goofy video hosts dumb down for the masses?
I always here them list off the features of the car as if they're unique to the 1LE, specifically the 6 pistons, magnetic ride, and the short throw shifter are tossed right in there with "the special aero". We all know that the special aero is the blade and front splitter and that you can get an SS with them. When I see the 6 piston brakes, I was really surprised to see that they don't include the same slotted rotors that I got with my factory SS 6 pistons. So I think you can tell what my question will be already...are the short throw shifters really any different from a regular SS to 1LE? Same question about the magnetic ride. I have to say that I love the 1LE and I drew a lot of inspiration from it in the way I optioned and built my car. It's not a car that I'd want to live with, but I've cherry picked the features that made the most sense for me or went after-market to replicate them. I also think it's fantastic that GM bought an M4 to let people conduct a comparison. It says a lot about what they've accomplished and it saved me a lot of money lol

I'm not sure on the short shifter. One of the biggest differences and something you can not upgrade to (aka 1LE specific) is the eLSD. That esessentially defines the car. A marvel of modern engineering. I don't think most people appreciate just how good it really is. |

If you are a person that's going to make it to the track and use the car day to day, you look at this 1LE and it's really a better a car for the $ than the Z51. Especially now with all the deals to be had, you can't beat the 1LE for the $.

I'm really excited about the 1LE now, just don't know whether blue or yellow looks best.
