I think it looks great and is a worthy GT350 competitor. I predict it'll come in around $45k.

I really like the front and side but really hate the back. I guess ill need a whipple in order to smoke one of these 1le package ones. Should it be a good match up a regular ss vs a performance pack gt?

The 2016 ss is faster than the Gen 5 1le around a road course. This new 1le is 3 seconds faster than the 2016 ss around Big Willow. Therefore this new 1le is a minimum of 3 seconds faster around a road course than the outgoing 1le. I have a feeling that it is going to be very close to if not faster than the GT350 with track pack. The motor sure isn't as cool as the voodoo though.

And they're offering it on the V6 too! This great for V6 buyers and those that can't afford the SS or simply want a great handling performance car! This swaying me away from a V6 Stang since Ford won't do jack with them anymore, unfortunately.

Definitely is a great time to be an enthusiast with amazing options nowadays!

Id rather get ecoboos stang than v6 camaro. And that rear looks hideous Imo

That forum is a celebration of retardation right now...holy crap.

Sounds like it will be a great car.

Some of the things I like and wish were available in the GT350:
1. PDR (track data recorder)
2. Rev-matching when desired (although the GT350 is actually pretty good to rev-match on your own - much better than my 350Z).

Some things I prefer about the GT350:
1. Engine
2. Looks

Glad to see both MFR's really kicking butt right now.

Bad ass car for sure. Damn was planning to buy a 14 gt500 but now with the 1le coming out I have to re think my option.

Damn those wheels look sick!

“With a curb weight under 3,500 pounds, excellent front-to-rear weight balance and the precision of the FE3 suspension, the Camaro LT 1LE offers unmatched capability in its class,” said Oppenheiser. “As a result, it offers incredible performance for Camaro V-6 customers.”
That V6 is going to be a fun car to throw around the corners. There is even some rumblings that the 2.0 is going to get the option too. That would put it at 3,400 or even less. That would be a blast around a track.

It should be faster and looks like its a $3500 upgrade over a base ss or loaded ss. So for low 40's you are getting hack of a track car! I was afraid of this but there is nothing else to do but wait and actually see what it does.

Looks on the side the camaro is offering a lot for the money, it might be expensive than the mustang gt but man if that 3 seconds around willow spring is valid then this car is actually cheap for what it is and comes with factory warranty and a lot of power play for upgrades!

Voodoo is the king of motors which should belong to a better lighter car! Put that engine in a low 3000 lb car and see what happens!

It's going to be a 6k package at least, 44k is still a damn good deal for this car if you like the Camaro. Can't wait to see it line up with the GT350 or even better the GT350r.

It literally has no chance against the R haha. But I do think that this 1LE is going to kill ZL1s and be very close to the Z28.

I would think the R would still handle it. We saw the R was faster than the Z/28 so unless this 1LE has matched the Z/28 in terms of performance I don't think it is the R's fight.

No way it keeps the 3500 price tag from the last model. These forged wheels and 6 piston pots will be pricey. I'll tell you what though, those rims are sexy.
