This car should sell a bunch.

Just curious who makes the all-season run flat tires?

Goodyear Eagle F1s on my V6 RS. They are OK in the dry and not great in the wet. With the LT1 the car will be severely traction limited I believe. Should make for easy burnouts though!

The LT1 will have the same size tires front and back according to the information. This Camaro will be a gearheads dream because of the mods you can do to it.

Everything looked good till they said its only 66lbs lighter... no real gains there if it would've been at least 150lbs lighter it would've been a game changer. But taking everything off just shows that this car was just focused on camaro sales and not really performance.

For all of those people who slapped LT1 badges on their SS Camaros, the uneducated population will think you have a basic V8 Camaro.

...Is there any doubt that was always the point of this trim level?

I thought 66lbs over a base 1ss was pretty good. U gotta remember over a mrc npp or def a 1le car it will be closer to your 150lb

Performance was never the focus of this car. A cheaper V8 car IS the focus. Geez.

66 lbs of less weight is just a bonus.

It's not 66lbs less of useless stuff though is it? It's not like they are drilling big holes in all the useless metal in the body of the car, they're removing or changing out things that have a function.

Kinda like how they saved weight by not putting any sound deadening in the car. Yea, you saved weight, but we just have to add it back in if we dont want the whole car to vibrate anytime you press the gas pedal.

Where are the real life pics. I some where it was on display somewhere.

Having a cheaper entry point for the V8 Camaro was the point bud, not improving performance.

Cool! So a standard optioned LT1 will weigh what....somewhere in the high 3,500 to low 3,600 lb range? Pretty sure the standard 1SS with manual was coming in around 3,650 to 3,675 lbs.

How much of a weight advantage would that be compared to a base Mustang GT?

EDIT: Got it: https://media.chevrolet.com/media/us...2019.tab1.html

According to the above link, a 2020 LT1 Camaro would weigh 3,619 lbs. That would give it right around 100lbs less than the base GT.

The base GT is 3,705 lbs, so 86 lbs. difference. Nice advantage for the LT1; I wish the GT was 100 lbs lighter than it is. Also - I'm surprised they gave the LT1 front 4-piston Brembos instead of non-branded brakes. Going with GM stock brakes and 19" wheels could have likely saved even more on the price. The LT1 sort of reminds of a modern version of the RS package of the early 90s, except this has the same engine whereas that car had a weaker V8 engine than the Z28.

The lack of engine oil, transmission, and differential coolers is puzzling.

My understanding is the SS is setup for the race track, this one should be fine for the street but it won't be good for more than a few laps at the track, like a Mustang or GT350 without the track pack 😋

Seems like with what they dropped they could have lowered the price a smidge more. Sounds like it doesn't have LED tail lights and headlights...?

A lot like the old Formula package. I like it.
