Yeah if the hints that a couple MT guys were giving the 1LE is even more impressive than the last one.

While it will lack the "specialness" of the GT350, I fully expect it to deliver on performance and at a healthy discount.  At least in V8 guise.  The V6, much like the rest of the lesser Camaro line, is too rich for the blood of the typical buyer.  A Mustang GT/PP with X-plan pricing (which anybody can get by joining MCoA) starts at $34-34.5K.  A 1LT 1LE Camaro starts at $33.3K.  Not hard justifying the extra ~1000 to get a V8.

Yeah the V6 1LE should come with a 3.73 rear end just like the V8.  That would pair really really well with the 7500rpm v6.

Depends on what the gearbox ratios are on the V6 vs the SS.  My V6 Mustang with 3.31 gears had overall gearing somewhere between a 3.55 and 3.73 in a GT.  3.73 would have been way too short.

Damn, if that is true I wonder if I should be shopping for a Camaro. The sale looks like its only on 2016's, but there seem to be a lot in stock. I don't see anything like this listed on Chevy's website though. There is a 16% cashback sale on "tagged" 2016 models, but the Camaro and Corvette are not included.

Read the fine print and comments.

GM was just doing 20% off most of their models a month or so ago.  10% off on a small selection of their remaining 2016s is not that good of a deal.

The 20% never applied to the Camaro and Corvette though.

The 10% off a Camaro would be news, but I am not sure I believe it is true. The best "special" I can find from googling 2016 Camaro's is an offer of 2.9% APR for 60 months.

MrH

It applied to the SS before the seatbelt issue popped up.

The fine print says it only applies to 18% of the leftover 2016 stock.

Yes, I know the SS was included, I was trying to buy one.  :lol:

My comments above are about the Camaro and Corvette and those cars were never included in the 20% off deal, so again even if it only applies to left over stock it would still be a good deal if you found one.

Not amazing mind you, but pretty good, especially if the dealer is willing to haggle on top of the cash back offer.

MrH

Meh.  Call me when they offer 20% off the Camaro + haggling :lol:  I want a $45k 2SS Camaro for <$35k.  That'd get my interest.

True; 10% though should be able to be had without any sort of official discount program, esp. on a car that I have to imagine sits around quite a while before it's sold.

Camaro 1LE laps Laguna in the same time as the M4 GTS, and sounds soooo much better doing it.

GT350-R is 1.5 seconds ahead of both.

I've been kind of disappointed in them IRL. They sound amazing at WOT but at anything less it's just a regular Mustang noise. Maybe they just need an aftermarket exhaust.

Not quite sure.  This info is coming from the 2016 Best Driver's Car by MT and they just gave that info out in the Ignition episode of the M4 GTS.

And they said "about as fast" as a 1LE so I guess that means a couple tenths probably in either direction.  (The M4 ran a 1:37.66)

I'd assume "about as fast" means a tenth slower.

(which for any real world purposes is a tie)

So $6.5k extra for the 1LE package and it's not materially faster than the regular SS?

What did the regular SS run?  For another comparison the Z/28 ran 1:37.82 at Best Driver's Car 2014, also driven by Randy Pobst.

I don't know.  Was your "about as fast as a 1LE" not referring to the 1LE vs SS?

Is the NSX time out somewhere?  I don't recall that.
