Tire tech has barely kept up with the torque output from these engines. It's surprising easy to break the tires loose, even with the 305's that come on the SS 1LE. It's different once you get them fully up to temp, but that will never happen on the street.
Those guys running with traction and stability control off all the time 'because they don't need no nannies to drive for them' are the same ones smashing curbs and pedestrians leaving cars and coffee because the car gets away from them so quick.

I'm going to say false on this. Tires you can hook and still get 50K miles, no. Soft compound tires you get 20k out of is what they need. Which leads into.... Quote:
So, does it bog with TSC off? Or is it the TB? |

It is great for tracking. Or so I hear. Having owed 2 Gen6es one with and one without. I can tell you on the street no difference I could feel. In fact the lighter SS felt more tossable than the ZL1.

I would have bought an lt1 if it saved me money. So far I have swapped out the brakes, rims, tires, removed the front swaybar, got rid of the rear diff cooler, one if the wing radiators... you get the point.

I can say I had a memorable track day with a stock 2011 LS3 Camaro with only some bushings and sway bars added. The racing pro driving that Camaro was running down a few Corvettes with that humble Camaro. So I am 100% sure the LT1 will be even better. Way better. So other than some shiny track baubles and some luxury items, what is the LT1 missing? And to me it is better looking car than the current SS.

So the 2020 Camaro build is out on the Chevy site. I built an LT1/LT1 Below.
$38,730!! with all the major options including Bose. This is close to what the sticker was on my loaded 2011 LS3 SS and way more of a real performance car for the $$. Opinions? All that is missing is MRC. No big deal to me. The only thing really missing is the SS track cooling, MRC availability, And the rear Brembos. Okay, I will miss the HUD. I will have to think hard about buying a used mid 30s SS or even 2SS over this. Selected Packages (1) $900 TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE $900 Highlights Include: Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System with 8" diagonal HD color touchscreen SiriusXM® with 360L trial subscription Bose® premium audio system Selected Options (8) $2,835 Exterior Power sunroof $995 6.2L V8 DI engine Standard 6-speed manual transmission Standard Dual-mode exhaust $995 20" Silver-painted aluminum wheels Standard Interior Front bucket seats Standard Navigation upgrade kit $450 Door accent trim, Red $395 Total Vehicle and Options $37,735 Destination Freight Charge $995 Total Vehicle Price $38,730 Total Cash Allowance[s] -$1,500 Net Price $37,230 †

Biggest advantage the LT1 has over the Mustang GT (besides the chassis lol) is IMO the wheel offerings. Only way to get optional wheels on the base GT is to get the PP otherwise you are stuck with very crappy looking 18" wheels

You can option in 2 other wheels without getting the PP1/PP2. Another set of 18" wheels that aren't really any better than the base 18" wheels, and the black accent package, which are 19" 7-spoke (not my cup of tea) wheels.

Wheels
Yea the other non pp1 wheels might no be amazing but still you get a choice and they look better than the base base ones imo. The black and chrome ones are awful, the other two are better.

Trans
I'd also say in manual vs manual the trans obviously. The auto trans are a wash obviously.

The 7 Spoke wheel requires the black accent package. The PP1 wheel requires the PP1 obviously lol, as does the PP2. The last option is the luster nickel wheel that is an option on the PP1. |
