It's a track package.... Do you understand the reason for alcantara/ microsuede on those surfaces?

Def needs to be lowered

Both are beautiful machines! These seats look awesome and very inviting!

The tires are lower aspect ratio (30 series v 35 on 5th Gen 1LE) which leaves more wheel gap, but lower would be better.

Tires are 26.7" in diameter? That's a full 2" shorter than stock Gen 5 SS tires!

The V6 mustang for 15 has no options as well, I believe the 4 bangers are driving out the v6 motors, the TT mustang has almost the Hp of the v6 and with an intercooler upgrade will out perform the v6. Amazing tech.

You can get any option you want on the V6 in the camaro. GM did not follow what Ford did by trying to phase out the v6 and limiting the options available.

Mike502 · 02-12-2016, 08:00 AM

my 2SS sits about a 1/2" lower and it has mag ride. I hate the rear wing on my SS.
Notice the SS badge on the side.

Mike502 · 02-12-2016, 08:01 AM

1/2 " higher.
I've got to get that rear spoiler for sure. The SS spoiler looks like a mustang wing.
I don't like the cheap looking mirrors " flat black"
The rims look better and the calipers look great on black rims. All and all just lower it a bit.
Head 2 head it's going to beat the non R Shelby GT 350 in all performance numbers. Plus around town it's got the low end grunt that will make it feel faster.

The V6 is a 2LT model. The 1LE on V8 trim only comes as a 1SS, but you still get alcantara/leather front and leather rear seats with the alcantara wheel. The alcantara is for the high performance grip feel over the leather, so anyone complaining about this (not saying YOU are, but some are) just don't know what they are looking at in my opinion.

Huh? Nothing to do with this thread or the Camaro. I'm sorry but I think you misunderstood the statement.

Even the turbo four (the base Camaro) can still get all of the trim upgrades the V6 model gets....Ford neutered their base engine car. Chevy did not.

Agreed...incase you missed it, chrisvr6 Photoshopped a drop on this shot (and I raised the back back up a tad

). Looks awesome...first thing I will be doing to mine is lowering it. There better be MRC lowering springs by then. (Odd thing is the press photos show the car a little lower, I wonder if ride height isn't set yet?)

WOW this looks amazing and love those wider tires and rims. The hips really stand out and look ready to hit the local track.
Perfect design when you get the stance right.

RLHMARINES · 02-12-2016, 08:45 AM

Pfadt and DSE offer lowering springs for MRC equipped 5th get Camaro's that works within the operating parameter of the suspension without the harshness associated with past lowering springs offerings from other companies.

raptor5244 · 02-12-2016, 09:39 AM

The rims with wider tires look sweet. Like everyone mentioned already, too much tire/fender gap for some reason. I mean with 20" wheels you would think we could fill out a wheel well. The Alcantara is nice for the 1st 6 months but then it gets matted and worn and then you just wish you had a leather steering wheel. The rear spoiler is a huge improvement. I hope that is standard moving forward.

As a current 2013 1LE owner I can say that in order to fully appreciate this car you need a track. In order to really experience the improvements in suspension, braking and tire grip you really need to push the car in the corners. If the most fun you have is launching onto a highway on-ramp then save your money and get a regular SS but if you have twisty roads where you live or track the car this is the best track car for the money.
