lol
Meanwhile the Challenger and Mustang are basking in retro crap. I mean seriously, the Bullit Mustang is based off a 50 year old car/movie, Dodge's B5 Blue and Plum Crazy are right out of 1971. Doesn't get much more retro.

Well it aint working for the Stang as their sales fell 50% from the peak 3 yrs ago. Dodge still sells because it is as big as my Tahoe and hence more practical. Imo

The Challenger does retro really well and they sell to people who could care less about how fast it gets around the Streets of Willow as long as it looks the part . For the people who wants more out of a car the Challenger won't cut it , or most of the Mustangs for that . If Chevy just wanted to sell more cars we wouldn't have a SS 1Le because it would be plastered with Z28 stickers with 12 more HP and a cassette player ,it would outsell the 1Le 1000 to 1 , as long as it would look the part .

Why not take the SS 1LE in its current form and call it Z28.... it doesn’t need stickers or a cassette, but people know what a Z28 is. Most people think 1LE designates whether you got cloth or leather seats.... |

For people who don’t know what it is (“How come you painted the hood of your SS flat black?”) I describe my 1LE as the “1LE Track Package.” They seem to get that, even if they don’t know exactly what it really means.
The current 1SS 1LE is probably as close as Chevy will ever get to the spirit of the original Z/28 in today’s world. Not calling it the Z/28 (even in the previous generation) is probably the biggest mistake Chevy has made in marketing the Camaro. |

For a good bit of the existence of the Z28 it wasn't much more then a sticker package , not much real track use unless it had the 1Le option . Most of the people won't get the SS/1Le because its not available with an automatic, so even if they pushed it more it wouldn't matter .

That's why they make a seat for every hiney. I dont buy any car to impress you or anyone else. I buy them to my tastes and needs as you should too. You're free to think what you want about any car just as I am too.

Haha, true. People I talk to think the LE in 1LE is a base model because other cars that are LE or LX or similar are indeed base models.
