It's a track car, not a drag car. This is more of a tradition and for fun anyways.

Haha, the Camaro looked pretty pathetic in this contest.

There is no need to come up with excuses. It is what it is. Just keep in mind what all the other cars in this competiton are.

No excuses or rationalization necessary - that was a badass video, and it's awesome that the Camaro SS 1LE took part, at all.

In other news..........the ZL1 would have been neck and neck with that Merc GT-S.....Wow. Can't wait to see next year's comparison.

Wow, stiff competition but isn't every car on there over 100k except for the GT350R?

The SS 1LE held it's own with a 12.4.. But it's a track car, take it to the track and let's see how it does with the same competition.

I know if the ZL1 was around, MT would have def. used it. Most M6 Camaro SS have tested to 12.3-12.4 so I could probably see the 1LE being the same or perhaps 12.2 with a good launch.

Team Chevy all the way regardless.

No such thing as last place when you run and beat cars in that group. Great video.

You will still be the cheapest in the group after a S/C install and finish that race in the top half.

Most of those cars are track cars.

No disgrace here. That was a great run with some high dollar cars.

The sweet sounds of revving and acceleration, I love the distinct differences in engine noises.

They should make a quiz window you can click on to match the car with the exhaust note.

Lol, yeah, the car was the slowest in the drag race at 12.4 seconds. "Slowest"...

Yep they made it a point at the end to emphasize the competition it was up against.. And then showing the 1LE drifting around the others was a nice touch.

For the prices of most of the others...
...I could have a 1LE and a ZL1...

(....hmmm... that's an idea...)

12.4....I'm good with that!..

Yeah, on a unprepared surface, with what looked to be a clutch drop burnout...this car has an easy 12.2 in it with those tires I think (maybe a little help from the eLSD too).

The drag race was fun to watch. All those cars are so awesome. I may be on the verge of fanboying over the Gen 6 1LE though. Shhhh....don't tell anyone.
