New SS V 1LE

ender2664 · 10-29-2015, 04:10 PM

Am i correct in saying performance wise the Gen6 is superior to the 1LE correct?
In ask because I ran into a deal to get a new 1LE for 40k.

I believe it was stated by Al O that it did outperform the 1LE on a road course.

Everything from Chevy so far has said, that the new Camaro is faster than the out going 1LE

Many are guessing that the beats 1LE claim may only apply to the 6 speed manual mag ride SS. Honestly we don't know which configuration(s) can beat the gen 5 1LE.

Did you test drive the 1LE? Would you be ok with the stiffer more track focused suspension and staying with pretty much the same interior you currently have?

MT's review disproves that. A 1SS M6 without MRC bested the figure 8 and acceleration tests of the 5th gen 1LE. Only thing not beat was breaking distance which was 6ft difference I believe.

I love tight suspension. I don't have the screen, navigation or leather.
Regardless, i really don't care about interior. What matters to me is performance and exterior.
Also decent mpg as i tend to drive a lot. My 6 gets 32mpg on the freeway.
Do the higher gears really eat up mpg on the freeway?

Yea not going to get close to that with a '15 1LE. More like 25mpg on highway. Also $40k on a 1LE doesn't seem like a deal, 2SS I'm hoping you are looking at? Also don't forget the 6th gen is a full half sec faster in the 1/4. That's 5 car lengths. Only get an 1LE if you are actually interested in tracking the car.

And that mpg is for a normal SS. With the higher gearing and larger tires it will probably be less.

Yes, 2SS optioned to the gills.
Very little to no track time for me :(
Thank you for the honest advice.

Honestly would think you would enjoy the 6th gen more. The sheer straight line performance advantage will be noticeable.

You're right, I did not see the 23.6 figure 8 time, that is friggin amazing. matches the z/28 and 458 Italia figure 8 time and the quarter mile comes oh so close to the z/28. That portends well for the gen 6 track time.

As a current 1LE owner I am curious to see how the Gen 6 drives. In general, I doubt I will really be able to tell much difference in performance unless I really push the car to its limits, which will be hard to do on a test drive. 12.4 vs 12.9 in the 1/4 is indeed faster but if there is no time clock or a car drag racing down the track next to you, which is about 99% of the time, would you really notice a difference? The question is can you pick up a left over loaded 2015 1LE 2SS with Recaro seats that has an MSRP of $46k for like $35k? I know the GEN 6 is all new and improved but a $10k difference between the cars could make the decision a little harder.

juzefzoozoo · 10-29-2015, 07:28 PM

Call me impatient but I can't help but feel resentful for GM's refusal to reveal at least their decision, be it yea or nay, towards the @#!%ing existence of a 6gen 1LE!

No one has claimed to know this, nor heard anything still.

I won't buy until the 6gen 1LE question is answered. The longer GM takes, the more bitter my resentment will grow, and the higher a chance a competitor (like the M2 & Alfa Guilia) will come to the scene.
