Can the 1LT trim be tuned to allow track mode?
Since the 1le v6 has track mode I was wondering if the base trim could be tuned to unlock the track mode option?
Or will suspension upgrades be needed such as the full 1le package? Last edited by Spudsmaro; 04-06-2021 at 09:21 PM. |

Not something in the tune would have to be custom programmed into the computers.

The latest 2020 LT1 is a V8. It makes 455 HP. I own a 1LT (trim pack) and it is the LGX V6 making 335 HP. |

Like mentioned above it doesn't exist on the non 1LE V6, so the only option would be to have the car tuned. Once my warranty runs out I'm probably getting a good custom tune.

Do regular V6s have competitive mode (press traction/stability button twice)? If so, using that TCS mode along with the sport driving mode will get you most of what the 1LE would offer as far as what the computer controls. If you are talking about adding parts to get as close to a 1LE as you can from a 1LT you would need: forged wheels, upgraded tires, differential cooler, trans cooler, upgraded larger radiator, upgraded fuel pump, front splitter, rear spoiler, matte hood cover, short shifter, alcantara shift knob, alcantara steering wheel, HUD with shift lights (2LT with lighting package or 3LT on later models), full FE3 suspension, NPP exhaust and probably some other items I'm forgetting. |

Heck you could even cut it down to Short Shifter, Upgraded suspension and upgraded tires, then you'd have the majority of the difference. If you really want a full track use car, getting an SS or a 1LE equipped car is probably cheaper than upgrading everything.

Only the non 1LE SS got the deflector kit. All the 1LE cars have brake cooling ducts in the bumper, so the bigger deflectors and not needed, supposedly. I have tracked my car at least 5 times a year and I've never had a brake issue.

All that to say, not sure the larger deflectors are required, but they certainly can't hurt and are cheap and easy to take on and off if you are already swapping rims/tires for track days. You going to Laguna Seca this weekend? Thanks to your youtube video I made sure to schedule on a 105db weekend so I don't get black flagged! |

After years of waiting, I finally submitted my V6 1LE order monday night, just to find out all production stopped. Sucks...
Since 1lE's got kicked I thought about spec'ing out a V6 with as much bits from the 1le as possible. After a few combinations of key options I quickly realized it's expensive to match the 1le before dipping into V8 money. I did figure adding the 6piston brembo, HD cooling, RS pack, suede steering / shifter and front rear spoilers would give you the appearance and some performance, but nothing close to the 1LE. This combination of options is 33,300. Expensive for a V6 camaro.... |

Ooh yea, that is solidly LT-1 territory and approaching 1SS territory.
