, it actually looped around GM's challenging proving ground track two seconds faster than the fifth-generation Camaro SS. One of those wasn't on hand to feel the difference, but Chevrolet did provide a 2016 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance pack to sample back-to-back. It didn't last long. The Ford couldn't come close to the Camaro's grip, its gearing resulted in multiple extra shifts (even compared to the V6), and its trip computer ultimately warned that the rear axle was overheating after six hot laps, a 15-minute cool down, and my aborted hot lap thereafter. Chevrolet was admittedly expecting the Mustang to seem soft compared to the V6 1LE, but the early exit came as a legitimate surprise.

^ Driver cam was added by the youtuber, right? PDR only includes a front facing mirror cam

I need to figure out how to use my gopro as a secondary view and overlay it on the PDR footage when I edit it on my computer.

The easy (hard?) way would be to sync the videos through an app like Harry's laptimer, or even using a standard video editing software...I just don't know if harry's or other similar apps would recognize the PDR data.

Doesn't the Cosworth Toolbox allow you to sync multiple video streams?

I think its just to overlay laps for comparison. It's not a video editing program.

Looks like the SS 1LE's official top speed is 186 mph.

"......but keeps building speed up to 186 mph."

MatthewAMEL · 11-07-2016, 02:04 PM

So, pretty much universal acclaim so far.

Man I'm glad I didn't buy that GT350.

Ugh... as critical as I've been about the 6th gen's design, the combination of hyper blue and 1LE package really does it for me. Everything I complained about has been fixed, including moving from the stanchion spoiler to a standard blade spoiler. The blacked out hood, front splitter, and rear spoiler add the necessary contrast to break the car up much more visually in a way that somehow makes it look wider, more planted to the ground, and aggressive. The only thing I would change at this point is relocating or simply removing the SS badging since I still think they're in pretty random spots, lol.

Call me crazy, but I think everything about this car, including the rims, looks better than the ZL1.

The want is very, very strong.

ChefBorOzzy · 11-07-2016, 03:12 PM

It really is stunning. Those wheels have hot to be some of the best designed I have seen.

I quite enjoyed Digital Trends review of the 1LE.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/20...e-first-drive/

I appreciate them talking about how the 1LE differs in feel to the standard SS, and also versus the Comp Pack //M4. It pretty much confirms exactly what I was thinking when I test drove an SS. My favorite quote is this:
