GT350 vs Camaro 1LE

[bdub85]

I don't care how it performs. They still look like dogshit.

Alpha platform, Magnetic Ride Control, Magnetic Ride dampers, springs and stabilizer bars, electronic limited-slip differential with 3.73. And
engine oil, differential and transmission coolers. Sound promising . Time will tell.

get real........ its a appearance package...wider tires? black hood? same horse power and a little bigger brakes....No big deal

Magnetic ride control, revised sway bars, and not just wider but stickier tires.

One could say the same about the 350 in that it's too heavy, looks about the same, and just has wider tires and a "bolted equivalent Coyote." And people do all the time.

I'm very intrigued to see what happens. It's not like I'm going to cancel my 350 though because there's something faster or slower.

In the same respect, the Z06/Z07 should have decimated everything out there and look what happened there as well. Things didn't always go so hot in some of the highest profile reviews of that car.

Al O also said that people would be "pleasantly surprised" about the price of the 2016 Camaro..look how that turned out.

Sure it might be faster around a track than a base GT350..it's still ugly, cramped and expensive for a parts bin car.

^bingo to both the above.

At the end of the days it's an SS with some suspension and tire upgrades.

And a blowhard self-serving VAGUE (which 350 did it allegedly beat? base with no magnetic ride or coolers basically a GT with the 5.2?) GM statement that means little in real life.

Remember guys, every car is a compromise between many different factors. Chevy might have simply moved the slider a little closer to the "track car" side of the scale with the Camaro. It doesn't really mean much either way though because there's so much you can do to either car in the aftermarket. Comparing totally stock cars' performance numbers is best left to people who buy magazines and argue on the internet. Further, remember that while it's not hard to make the GT350 faster on a track it'll be real hard to make the Camaro less ugly. ;)

Nope. There are a LOT of go-fast goodies on this car. It doesn't have more power, but it has lots of upgrades to the suspension brakes and other systems that help you be quick around a road course. The last 1LE was quicker than a Boss 302 with no extra power, and Oppenheiser has unfortunately been correct when he's made claims like these in the past. But as he said, they upped the ante with the 350, now it's their turn to respond. Ford will just have to up the ante again.

Be aware folks...there are likely trolls incoming from Camaro6 to stir this info around.

Dickbag KMPrenger wants people to go over to SVT and here to get things stirred up.

Get your ban hammers ready, Mods.

I found out the problem Camaro guys are having with the GT350.
When the go into a Ford dealer to inquire about purchasing the Gt350
the ADM for guys with Mullets is 25K and they're pissed,
so they are coming here to whine

Guys...chill out...cars change minute to minute. Cars today are largely about technology. When was the last time you got pissed because the latest cell phone on the market was faster or had more features than yours.

Manufacturers make changes most every year. Everything gets closer to everything.

Love the one you're with...:ford:

Yeah, on one hand there are people pissed about the ADM, then there are those that paid ADM that are pissed about either a ~$45k Camaro (which is available for supplier pricing) being comparable to their 60-75k car or that Ford is now giving better bundles for 2017. :shrug:

Lol, a camaro guy wouldn't pay forget about 75 g not even 45 g for a base gt350 if the 45 g 1le is already faster than a base gt350! But for a car enthusiast with plenty of money, it doesn't matter which car performs better for the money, they will always buy what they please! Money wins all the time!

Its funny that they claim Chevy used the GT350 as a test mule developing the 1LE package. How is that even possible with the timeline that the Shelby's have been available? ;)

The Camaro might come close to performance ( yet to be seen)
Not even sure price has been released yet?

Thats where it ends, looks, innovation and wow factor,
not even close. Mustang beats it every time, all day long.
