I love hearing reviews of the SS 1LE. It really is a special car and the goldilocks version of the 6th Gen. Camaro.

Nice video! Did the 1LE get more expensive? I thought they were around $45k?

Thanks for posting this! The SS 1LE is a very capable car.
I had the immense honor of riding copilot with Andy while he drove my ZL1 at Thunderhill Raceway. Heck of a nice guy and a hell of a driver. He put away a new set of F1’s in a single day. I’m excited to see him again at NCM on 8/19. |

Awesome! Was just there on Thursday with mine. That is an awesome track! He got a little more out of the 1LE that he drove...

Very well done and superb driving (no surprise here).
They did forget to mention two key items that come with 1LE package and are largely responsible for its superb handling: ELSD and MRC. |

He's a great guy. Had dinner with him and a friend of mine from GM back when he was winning races in the C6 Corvettes. I asked him what was the one thing that comes to mind that is the most extreme when racing the Vettes... He said it was the outrageous noise of the exhaust. Awesome.

The ELSD makes a big difference with helping you around the corners. I always drive in Track Mode with Sport 1 sub setting to get the best out of the ELSD. Also agree on MRC, it does things behind the scenes that masks a lot of road imperfections that would normally upset a chassis on lesser shocks.
