I am back.. 2019 Camaro SS 1LE (Riverside Blue Metallic)

glamcem · 01-19-2020, 02:16 PM

UPDATE: After a careful consideration I decided to go back to my beloved SS 1LE. I have been tracking with my highly modified 2017 Mazda Miata for the last couple of years. Then I noticed that I barely use the Miata, towing truck and the trailer (since I work from home most of the time) and so I wanted to go back to Camaro so that I can fit 4 people and drive to and back from tracks. I traded in the truck and will soon sell the Miata . Towing will not be an option for a couple years until I receive the Cybertruck that I ordered

I was torn between the ZLE and SS 1LE and finally I settled on SS as I wanted to keep the car in NA form and consumables in check and reach my target weight (below 3500lbs). Also that way, I can finish what started with the 1LE. I am planning some weight reduction, suspension mods, harness bar and race seat and possibly upgrade to ZL1 1LE suspension with all the supporting mods.

I already ordered and received some parts for the new car and will list everything in my journal.

I will update my mod list for the current car but will also keep the previous information as a reference.

Great to have you back. Enjoyed following your old build. Can't wait to see what you'll do next, we have a similar build in mind.

Sure thing! Glad to hear that

so far the car will get the standard treatment (camber and knuckle mod, longer wheel studs for spacers).. already received Corvette fender flares, some Zl1 addon goodies (rock guard and lift point pads), ordered wheels (Apex 19x10.5 +22 and 19x11 +43 Arc8)

Congrats!

How close are the two blues to each other? The new one looks a touch lighter.
