I just recently traded in a 2014 Mustang GT Track Pack for a 2018 Camaro 2SS 1LE in garnet red. I loved my Mustang. It had the track tuned suspension with the Brembo's in the front. I had alot of fun with it. But the 1LE is at a whole other different level. I've also test driven a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT392, and there is no comparison. The Camaro SS 1LE rules.
g force congrats on the 2SS 1LE. I'm surprised that I don't hear to much about this car from the car scene. Most people get caught up in the horsepower wars with the ZL1 and Z06... I love my SS 1le. Power, balance, traction, and handling are superb. Thanks for watching and commenting.. please subscribe to he channel as well....
I’ve owned a 2SS 1LE in Hyper Blue Metalic paint for three weeks now and I absolutely love it. I’ve owned Porsche’s and Mustangs, I also currently have a 2015 GTI as well but this car is 10x more fun to drive.
Great video, very informative. You picked some great looking cosmetic upgrades ... I love how you described them in detail and where to get them. I've seen a 1LE with the clear lens brake lights, they looked great, just have to find them now lol. Thank You
I bought a fully loaded 2017 2SS. It’s a great car! I wanted a 1LE but at the time they were not readily available. Couldn’t find one anywhere in Southern California or neighboring states in the summer of 2017. I needed a car right away because my previous car caught fire on the freeway. I have put the 1LE Wheel and tire fitment on my SS and the handling is superb. I wish I had all the other 1LE extras. I may trade for a 2018 2SS 1LE if I find one at the right price with very low miles. I don’t like the 2019 + body changes. Great review.
This was a very well made video man. I bought a 16' 2SS 6 Speed back in April. I absolutely love it. I think that car has amazing grip...I can't even imagine what a 1LE must feel like. I will be uploading videos of mine soon!
I love my '18 2SS 1LE! Thanks for the video, I was really curious on how the sunroof/blacked-out roof would look and WOW, wrapping the roof is a must after seeing your car! I've owned a GTI, M3 (both while stationed in Germany) and GT500 and I feel the 1LE really brings huge performance to the table, especially for the cost in comparison to the M3/GT500. Congrats on the car, I'll be subscribing to see how things go with the 1LE.
Sweet! Be sure to browse the channel as there are other videos with my 1le as well. I appreciate you subscribing to the channel! I really don't think there is a car out there new that can match the performance of this car for under 50k especially one that looks this good and loaded with features. Keep the comments on the videos coming! They are really my only way of getting feedback on the channel. I do my best to respond and answer any questions anyone has within 24hours...
So come April/May 2019 I'll be in the market for a 1LE, either 1SS or 2SS depending on availability and options. I've been living vicariously thought other 1LE owners who have posted videos and I just found yours today. LOVE the drone footage, and the satin black wrap extended over the roof looks incredible. Thanks for the post and throw some more videos out there. Would love you see some of your track footage when you make it there. Where are you located?
I'm located in Las Vegas? and you? Glad you liked the video... Trying to put out 1 video a week... It's been so hot outside though... 100 plus temps. Just got info for a new track day sept 22 and 23rd. I should be signing up for this in the next couple of days... I hope to get some good footage of this event... Stay tuned to the channel and please subscribe if you haven't already... Thanks for the support!
Located in the SW corner of Wyoming. Our driving season for a car like the 1LE is about six months.... May - October. I subscribed and will be watching in the future. Keep the rubber side down.
It must be beautiful in Wyoming! I hope you find the 1LE you are looking for next year. Can't wait for the track day in September... It's not set in stone yet but I should be able to get the time off from work. I've got an exiting video opportunity this coming Friday the 31st... If it goes as planned the video will be up by the following Sunday. Keep the comments on videos rolling in as it's the main driving force behind the videos. Thanks for subscribing!
jrock702 track day at Willow Springs? Im about to order the 2019 2SS 1LE. Spent months pondering about the ZL1 but the 1LE SS is perfect and well GM is no longer taking orders for the 2018. Anyway, im moving to Lancaster, CA in about a 2 months. I’ll be sure to hit up Willow often. This will be my first performance car!
For both Jose and jrock.... I've considered picking up my 1LE in California because I can find some killer deals out there, but I'm concerned about the California emissions... is there a decrease in power or performance that you are aware of? Do you you know offhand what exactly is different between California cars and those sold elsewhere? (and by the way... hurry up and post your track day... living vicariously through you 1LE owners until there's one in my garage.)
Keeping it stock for now. Big track day coming up August 4th at Willow Springs. It's a pretty fast paced track. Time will tell. Studying the track as much as possible beforehand. Hoping to be as prepared as possible to maximize my fun out there... I do have some road racing experience on Sportbikes and with corvettes... It's been awhile though so interested to see how it goes...
Just traded my 2017 Camaro SS 6 speed Friday night for a 2020 Camaro 1SS 1LE. I've also owned a 2014 Mustang GT track pack, and a 2015 Mustang GT Performance pack. This car blows all of them away. I'm still in shock by how much better it handles and drives over my 17 SS. I can't wait to get back to Roebling Road Raceway to really see the difference. I had my 17 SS for 3 years (2nd longest of any car since my first in 1990- a 90 Civic Si) and had no plans of getting rid of it. This car will get you in serious trouble on curvy roads if LEO's witness it. The ride is amazing considering the insane handling abilities.
Nice! Congratulations! You won't be disappointed The ss 1le handles amazing on the track. Be sure to check out my track day videos! Thanks for watching....
I think these alerts come in handy as reassurance but aren't necessary if your side mirrors are adjusted properly. The general rule of thumb is if you look into any of your side mirrors and see any part of the side of your own car then they are adjusted wrong. This is where most people run into issues with when changing lanes when someone is next to them with the front of their car near their real wheel. If the mirrors are adjusted properly you should be able to change lanes safely by just looking in the side mirror then directly out the side window and if nothing is there then it's safe to change lanes. Often times people try looking over their shoulder out the back side window or rear window and this is generally where issues occur in cars that have bigger side pillars and smaller windows. I will admit to falling victim to this bad habit from time to time.. Some cars you can get away with this bad habit but the Camaro makes this bad habit more dangerous. Once your mirrors adjusted properly and you learn to trust them then you will be good to go. All new cars come with back up cameras which are a great safety feature and cross traffic alerts are an added safety assurance but I don't really need it. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out my channel. There are alot more videos to see.
Hmm. Not sure. Most people know by now that the C8 is amazing. The SS 1le however, not so much. Most people didn't even know you could add the 1le package to the ss. Gm dropped the ball on marketing this one. I think intentionally though. They didn't want to lose sales on the vette or the zl1.
nice video! didn't know it had the LT1 as well. pretty good price (for fully loaded too!). My car is bare minimum but was 51,265. Sure mine would be closer to 60k like you were saying if fully loaded. It's got some good options! I would drive one :) Keep up the good work!
yes. You can add the sunroof to the 1le package for an additional $995... The one I bought had this option added to the 2ss 1le. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned to the channel. More videos to come!
Btw. You should invest in some front mud flaps. Most 1LE owners will tell you the wide front tires will throw rocks into your lower rear quarter panel. You will notice GM already puts a film protector on there to prevent rock chips, but its not large enough. I installed OEM mud flaps and increased the size of the film protection on the rear quarter panel. 👍
not according to the chevy website... Just reached out to my salesman. If i find anything additional out i will let you know... also if you haven't checked out my latest video on the track with the 1le check it out... Car is amazing
Sweet! I use this mount for vlogging and for roll races. I mount it on the windshield inside and can easily rotate it 360 degrees with one hand.... www.amazon.com/ASOCEA-Rotation-Universal-Compatible-Windshield/dp/B01KPMETJK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1542703861&sr=8-6&keywords=360+swivel+gopro+suction+mount
The one on the sunroof mounted inside is a joby. Very versatile but not the most stable... It does come in handy though.... www.amazon.com/Suction-Locking-Session-Contour-Action/dp/B00O8R7A72/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542704175&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=joby+suction+cup+mount+gopro
I use the gopro one sometimes also. It's the most stable but not nearly as adjustable. www.amazon.com/GoPro-Suction-Cup-Mount-Official/dp/B00F19Q7YI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1542704349&sr=8-3&keywords=gopro+suction+cup
Audi a4 is a nice car! If you are looking for more horsepower and better handling then the 2ss 1le is a good move. As far as payments go its all about the amount financed, length of loan, and interest rate... I put 10k down and financed for 5years. Payment is $722.
XXX i agree that i will depend on how much you finance. Im putting $27k down and payments should be right around $500 for 5 year plan. Is be looking at around $650 with insurance for California.
the 2ss package adds: Heated/ventilated leather-appointed power 8-way driver and power 6-way front passenger seats Dual-zone automatic climate control Chevrolet MyLink† with 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen display Bose® premium audio system
Nope. The 1le package on the ss camaro gives you alot of performance upgrades If you are in to taking corners fast or doing track days the $7k 1LE package is well worth it....Better brakes, Suspension, Stickier wider tires and wheels, Extra cooling, heads up display, Recaro seats ect....
no. That one is ok as well. The one i was talking about is NSX vs GTR and Huracan. Lots of awesome content..... Please subscribe to the channel as well if you like the content. jrock702 on youtube....
Thanks Steve! Be sure to check out my channel... Just did a track day with the PCA (Porsche Club of America). The SS 1le is a beast! If you like the track video or other content as well please subscribe to my channel. I need all the support I can get..
I agreed with everything you said about the 1LE. I dont why 1LE isnt talked about more. I have a hyperblue 1LE 1SS. I wanted a 2SS for the interior lighting.
not sure what you mean... It's already installed. it is mounted to the center console via clips and double sided tape... Been using it for a few months now... Love it... Check out the website www.proclipusa.com . Then follow the instructions to get the proper clip/mount for your car and phone. Thanks for watching!
I really liked both cars. I would say they were pretty equal in terms of fun to drive. They both had the same motor, and very similar drivetrain and features. The C7 had more of a cool factor but I would have to give it to the SS 1LE for handling performance. I think the alpha platform of the 6th generation Camaro SS combined with the 1LE package is just brilliant especially when you factor in the price difference.
Ben Chesterman This is a SS model not a Zl1 model if that is what you are thinking. The SS 1LE comes with the non supercharged LT1.... MSRP for my 2018 2SS 1LE was $50k. I got it for $47k.... Thanks for watching.
@@jrock702 Chevolet Dealer made no money off you if you got it for 47k ? Consumers expect dealers to sell at wholesale price in Australia and its left party that tax small business dealerships to hell socialist do in Australia 30+yrs . Australia has much higher consumption tax so harder for a dealer to discount $3000 off the price . 10% gst , 5% tariffs , 33% luxury car tax funds free healthcare dumb Bernie sanders wants , 3% stamp duty . Camaro 2ss is taxed $19000 in Australia sells for $95,0000aud here drive away , there is Rhd conversion as well adds $12000
Thanks man! Stay tuned to the channel... Taking the ss 1le on the track this saturday with the Porsche club.... Exited to be doing some road racing again... I've been studying the spring mountain track for about a week now.... I'm hoping to be very prepared for this event... Video to come! If you like the videos be sure to subscribe... It would mean alot to me...
I've been running the OEM tires at all times. I really like the GoodYear Eagle f1 supercar 3 tires alot. They hold up rather well for a summer street/track tire. I could probably get a year or 10k miles out of the rears on the street If i behave myself most of the time. Mileage will vary depending on you driving habits. Keep in mind with any performance tire after many heat cycles even with decent tread left the tire becomes less sticky and you lose some grip. I'm on my 3rd set and have 11k miles on my camaro. I've also have done 3 track days as well though. Bottom line, I will continue to use these tires.
jrock702 i was told those tires were only rated for 20 k miles of normal driving so i was curious how long they lasted after track time ...awesome car . Im looking to pick up a 1 ss 1 le in the near future in the same color you have...best bang for the buck
@@johneel7766 I've heard of people getting 2-3 track days out of these tires. All depends on the track and how hard you push the car. I would say you could get a solid track day and at least 5k to 6k of driving on the street. Wish i could give you a better answer. Yes, the ss 1le is the best performance bang for the buck.
thanks! Check the video i just posted on my channel... Came out pretty sick...it has a demon, gtr, nsx, huracan... Racing held at speed vegas along with drag times...
Lol. Are you kidding me. The 1LE is everywhere on UA-cam. Its been reviewed numerous times with tons of raves. 1SS and 2SS same car just some more interior creature comforts.
Sure the ss 1le is out there on UA-cam if you search for it... Most of the hype goes to the zl1 1le though. Unless you have a ss 1le or know someone who has one most people don't even know about it. I spend a ton of time having to explain why the ss 1le is so good to people. They often dismiss it as being a good track car as they think it's just a regular ss... The two most common things people say is they thought my car was a zl1 or that I have aftermarket wheels on my ss... Granted theses people don't own a camaro like we do. Obviously if you own one you will know all the differences and have watched tons of videos on them. Thanks for watching...
Sweet... The ss 1le is an incredible performance bargain. Something to keep in mind... If you plan on tracking the car and are over 5'9'' tall be careful if you are thinking about getting one with a sunroof... The sunroof decreases headroom by about an inch and a half. I think I'm 5'10'' or 5'11'' and with a helmet on Barely have enough clearance. I have to lean my seat back a little further than i like just to make it work... Also some helmets are a little lower in profile just in case you run into this issue.
lol... It's along story as to why I made the switch to the ss 1le Camaro. Everyone is faced with decisions in life and they need to do what is best for their own situation. I created a nightmare for a year and a half after deciding to highly modify my corvette... I delt with 2 shops that didn't work out in the long run. One of which resulted in filing for a court case. $87k invested in car and mods and was left with a car I could no longer trust. I had a ton of issues and didn't have the proper support even though i was willing to pay for the issues with the car. I also came to the realization that having a car with way to much power and not enough traction was most of the time not a good recipe for a good time. Sure, I got drag radials... Now it hooked up better but didn't corner very well anymore. I was pretty pissed off at the world at the time I almost traded my corvette for the Zl1. I would have pulled the trigger on the zl1 if i hadn't been in the situation i was with the corvette at the time. So, fast forward to my recent purchase. I wanted the best overall bang for the buck and wanted to start doing road course track days again. The Camaro ss 1le fit the bill for what I plan on doing with my car in the future. I've learned a good lesson from all this. 650hp for a rear wheel drive car especially a corvette or camaro is in my opinion overkill.. Sometimes less power can actually be more fun. Balance of power and traction is key on road courses. Hopefully i will be able to prove my point at willow springs in August. I should be able to drive out of the corners with more confidence with a car that has better balance. Time will tell....
jrock702 I got a 18 ZL1 and true 650 horses is over and I’ll probably never push that car to the max. But it’s nice to know it’s there. Once my warranty is expired I’m thinking about the whipple SC IDK yet. I don’t blame you and have a bad taste in your mouth with your corvette. A lot of money wasted. We live and we learn. I’ve wasted plenty money on my 50th edition SS. Just to trade it in 8months later. 1le is a sweet car. Looking forward to seeing your videos.
Too slow 455 hp and top speed 165 ! If you can’t tell the difference between this and a corvette that’s sad . Typical Camaro poor design poor engineering example you need to push a button for rev matching this should be an automatic computer function and so meany other issues I could write a book .
Lol!!! Here we go! I knew this would be coming. Sure, I can tell the difference between a camaro and a corvette. The performance gap Between the c7 or c7 grand sport and The Camaro ss 1le vs the price gap just doesn't correlate... Do some research on this and you will see. The Camaro ss 1le is a solid track contender. Time will tell... Willow Springs in August... Full video to come. The rev match is controlled by the computer. This is a feature you can turn on or off just like the vette. Once turned on it stays on until you turn the car off or hit the paddle again to deactivate.
My loved my '08 M3 but it would only run right around 165 mph on the Abaun, (you can check out my video as well as my lap on the Ring). Another thing about my old M3 was no TORQUE, I believe the V8 had a pavement pounding 295 foot pounds, sure it loved RPM but back here in the USA it sucked as a daily driver. Having rev match on all the time would be annoying, I'm glad its easily activated/deactivated with the steering paddles. In a day and age of invasive computerized cars its nice to have a car you can tune to your needs with so many different set-ups. As a onetime diehard Mustang lover I gotta say, if you haven't driven one of these 1LEs and truly tried it out your missing out on a really great car.
Just wanted to weigh in on the rev match feature. Most experienced heel & toe drivers find it a bit of an unusual experience at first...but once you get used to it, it is actually more accurate and precise bringing up the rpm’s on the down shifts and takes a lot of the extra work out especially braking and aggressive cornering. The clutch in these cars grabs a little wierd, as most already have felt. You gotta drive this thing aggressively to appreciate what it can do. You instinctively want to crack the throttle, and at times I still do, but the rev match (when on) beat me to it! In fact even normal street driving, if it’s off, or I forgot to turn it on, and then down shift, there’s that “tug” for a second, cause the revs didn’t come up as much as needed. It’s like “what”..? It’s a great tool when you learn to work with it. I’ve had guys breathing down my neck, and I got a 90 degree right turn coming up....so, okay, see if you can follow me through this turn. Comin’ into it, land, brakeing, slam scond, revs snap up perfect, gas, gone with a four wheel power slide. I want to add it’s also a 18’ SS1LE with meth & whipple mods. This thing screams fun...especially when you get picked on, they’re thinking it’s just an “SS”...😆
The GEN6 SS 1LE is the only modern sport car that I (might) wouldn't rather have than a C6 Z06. I would love a new SS 1LE. I may end up trading my low mileage 02 SS on one if I find a price I like.

Hmm. Not sure. Most people know by now that the C8 is amazing. The SS 1le however, not so much. Most people didn't even know you could add the 1le package to the ss. Gm dropped the ball on marketing this one. I think intentionally though. They didn't want to lose sales on the vette or the zl1.
Great car review. Glad to see more videos of ur new ride.
nice video! didn't know it had the LT1 as well. pretty good price (for fully loaded too!). My car is bare minimum but was 51,265. Sure mine would be closer to 60k like you were saying if fully loaded. It's got some good options! I would drive one :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy! Very happy so far... Willow Springs road course in august! That will be the real test!
Are you able to add the sunroof to the 1LE package? Or how did you get yours like that? It looks amazing
yes. You can add the sunroof to the 1le package for an additional $995... The one I bought had this option added to the 2ss 1le. Thanks for watching! Stay tuned to the channel. More videos to come!
Btw. You should invest in some front mud flaps. Most 1LE owners will tell you the wide front tires will throw rocks into your lower rear quarter panel. You will notice GM already puts a film protector on there to prevent rock chips, but its not large enough. I installed OEM mud flaps and increased the size of the film protection on the rear quarter panel. 👍
Maybe I will get the mud flaps from zl1addons at some point...
Do they have the Krypton Green color for the 2ss, 2018 versions because I've only seen 2017 1ss 1Le in Krypton Green.
not according to the chevy website... Just reached out to my salesman. If i find anything additional out i will let you know... also if you haven't checked out my latest video on the track with the 1le check it out... Car is amazing
@@jrock702 thx will do my friend.
Awesome I have it on fire 🔥 Red. Question whats the mount call of the gopro camera I need one. Thanks keep it up
Sweet! I use this mount for vlogging and for roll races. I mount it on the windshield inside and can easily rotate it 360 degrees with one hand....

The one on the sunroof mounted inside is a joby. Very versatile but not the most stable... It does come in handy though....

I use the gopro one sometimes also. It's the most stable but not nearly as adjustable.

Wanting to trade my 2015 Audi A4 for a 2SS 1LE, smart move or not? Payments would have to be around 700 a month, any thougths?
Audi a4 is a nice car! If you are looking for more horsepower and better handling then the 2ss 1le is a good move. As far as payments go its all about the amount financed, length of loan, and interest rate... I put 10k down and financed for 5years. Payment is $722.
XXX i agree that i will depend on how much you finance. Im putting $27k down and payments should be right around $500 for 5 year plan. Is be looking at around $650 with insurance for California.
I would like to know the difference between 1ss 1le and 2ss1le.....??
the 2ss package adds: Heated/ventilated leather-appointed power 8-way driver and power 6-way front passenger seats
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Chevrolet MyLink† with 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen display
Bose® premium audio system
i thought with the 2ss 1le the only performance upgrade from the 1le you get was the suspension.
Nope. The 1le package on the ss camaro gives you alot of performance upgrades If you are in to taking corners fast or doing track days the $7k 1LE package is well worth it....Better brakes, Suspension, Stickier wider tires and wheels, Extra cooling, heads up display, Recaro seats ect....
Is royalty car meet week is the video u just mentioned?
no. That one is ok as well. The one i was talking about is NSX vs GTR and Huracan. Lots of awesome content..... Please subscribe to the channel as well if you like the content. jrock702 on youtube....
Great review and now that's in the 2ss even better Luxury Plus performance!!
Thanks Steve! Be sure to check out my channel... Just did a track day with the PCA (Porsche Club of America). The SS 1le is a beast! If you like the track video or other content as well please subscribe to my channel. I need all the support I can get..
I agreed with everything you said about the 1LE. I dont why 1LE isnt talked about more. I have a hyperblue 1LE 1SS. I wanted a 2SS for the interior lighting.
Pretty surprised it's not more talked about as well. Be sure to check out some of my track day videos also. The SS 1LE is a solid performer!!!
Did you have to get the Matt black hood to get the 1le ?
The 1le only comes with a black matte hood. However, it is easily removed and the hood is painted underneath.
Where exactly is your phone mount going?
not sure what you mean... It's already installed. it is mounted to the center console via clips and double sided tape... Been using it for a few months now... Love it... Check out the website www.proclipusa.com . Then follow the instructions to get the proper clip/mount for your car and phone. Thanks for watching!
Did you find this or your c7 more fun to drive?
I really liked both cars. I would say they were pretty equal in terms of fun to drive. They both had the same motor, and very similar drivetrain and features. The C7 had more of a cool factor but I would have to give it to the SS 1LE for handling performance. I think the alpha platform of the 6th generation Camaro SS combined with the 1LE package is just brilliant especially when you factor in the price difference.
@@jrock702 thanks for replying all the time, I found your channel yesterday and subscribed, I'm thinking of getting a 2ss 1le, you make it look fun 👌
@@Coughingcatbleh My pleasure! Anytime. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It really helps the channel out.
I sure did! Ridin thru the mountains, has 2 be thrilling👏
Best quality price sport car right now, I do not regret to have one!!! Ican take some porches, bmws audis and so on that cost twice as the 1Le
I agree! Check out my track day videos... The 1le was on point... Thanks for watching!
I love that you can now get a 2SS 1LE
I agree. You get some more cool upgrades available. You can now get a fully loaded track car for under 50k...
Yankee 1985 ventilated seats, blind spot & back up sensors definitely are nice to have
2ss 1Le for 50k your dreaming
Ben Chesterman This is a SS model not a Zl1 model if that is what you are thinking. The SS 1LE comes with the non supercharged LT1.... MSRP for my 2018 2SS 1LE was $50k. I got it for $47k.... Thanks for watching.
@@jrock702 Chevolet Dealer made no money off you if you got it for 47k ? Consumers expect dealers to sell at wholesale price in Australia and its left party that tax small business dealerships to hell socialist do in Australia 30+yrs . Australia has much higher consumption tax so harder for a dealer to discount $3000 off the price . 10% gst , 5% tariffs , 33% luxury car tax funds free healthcare dumb Bernie sanders wants , 3% stamp duty . Camaro 2ss is taxed $19000 in Australia sells for $95,0000aud here drive away , there is Rhd conversion as well adds $12000
Good thing for 2021, they're allowing all 1le models to be in automatic or manual
Yes sir!
Now I need to find em before the 2019 start coming out
Yeah, Im not too sure I'm a fan of the 2019's.. However, the new look is growing on me a little...
Nice bro. I have the 1LE 1SS
Thanks man! Stay tuned to the channel... Taking the ss 1le on the track this saturday with the Porsche club.... Exited to be doing some road racing again... I've been studying the spring mountain track for about a week now.... I'm hoping to be very prepared for this event... Video to come! If you like the videos be sure to subscribe... It would mean alot to me...
How did the original tires hold up ? How many miles did you get out of them.?
I've been running the OEM tires at all times. I really like the GoodYear Eagle f1 supercar 3 tires alot. They hold up rather well for a summer street/track tire. I could probably get a year or 10k miles out of the rears on the street If i behave myself most of the time. Mileage will vary depending on you driving habits. Keep in mind with any performance tire after many heat cycles even with decent tread left the tire becomes less sticky and you lose some grip. I'm on my 3rd set and have 11k miles on my camaro. I've also have done 3 track days as well though. Bottom line, I will continue to use these tires.
jrock702 i was told those tires were only rated for 20 k miles of normal driving so i was curious how long they lasted after track time ...awesome car . Im looking to pick up a 1 ss 1 le in the near future in the same color you have...best bang for the buck
@@johneel7766 I've heard of people getting 2-3 track days out of these tires. All depends on the track and how hard you push the car. I would say you could get a solid track day and at least 5k to 6k of driving on the street. Wish i could give you a better answer. Yes, the ss 1le is the best performance bang for the buck.
Awesome car. Love my 18 1le.
sweet! Love mine too... Best bang for the buck for under 50K....
jrock702 Agree 100%.
Do a driving video stepping on the gas! The car is awesome dude!!!
thanks! Check the video i just posted on my channel... Came out pretty sick...it has a demon, gtr, nsx, huracan... Racing held at speed vegas along with drag times...
Lol. Are you kidding me. The 1LE is everywhere on UA-cam. Its been reviewed numerous times with tons of raves. 1SS and 2SS same car just some more interior creature comforts.
Sure the ss 1le is out there on UA-cam if you search for it... Most of the hype goes to the zl1 1le though. Unless you have a ss 1le or know someone who has one most people don't even know about it. I spend a ton of time having to explain why the ss 1le is so good to people. They often dismiss it as being a good track car as they think it's just a regular ss... The two most common things people say is they thought my car was a zl1 or that I have aftermarket wheels on my ss... Granted theses people don't own a camaro like we do. Obviously if you own one you will know all the differences and have watched tons of videos on them. Thanks for watching...
this is my next purchase lol
Sweet... The ss 1le is an incredible performance bargain. Something to keep in mind... If you plan on tracking the car and are over 5'9'' tall be careful if you are thinking about getting one with a sunroof... The sunroof decreases headroom by about an inch and a half. I think I'm 5'10'' or 5'11'' and with a helmet on Barely have enough clearance. I have to lean my seat back a little further than i like just to make it work... Also some helmets are a little lower in profile just in case you run into this issue.
@@jrock702 great piece of advice! im 6'1. looks like ill had to go without one.
He was getting it on that bike!
yup... I was bummed when the vehicle in front let him by but not me.... ugh... fun while it lasted...
i used to want to wrap my roof in black on mine too. untill i saw this video
Glad the video was helpful for you.... I think the roof wrapped looks good... Not everyone does though...
Hmmmm, you talked junk about the ZL1 few months ago then you go get the lesser Camaro.
lol... It's along story as to why I made the switch to the ss 1le Camaro. Everyone is faced with decisions in life and they need to do what is best for their own situation. I created a nightmare for a year and a half after deciding to highly modify my corvette... I delt with 2 shops that didn't work out in the long run. One of which resulted in filing for a court case. $87k invested in car and mods and was left with a car I could no longer trust. I had a ton of issues and didn't have the proper support even though i was willing to pay for the issues with the car. I also came to the realization that having a car with way to much power and not enough traction was most of the time not a good recipe for a good time. Sure, I got drag radials... Now it hooked up better but didn't corner very well anymore. I was pretty pissed off at the world at the time I almost traded my corvette for the Zl1. I would have pulled the trigger on the zl1 if i hadn't been in the situation i was with the corvette at the time. So, fast forward to my recent purchase. I wanted the best overall bang for the buck and wanted to start doing road course track days again. The Camaro ss 1le fit the bill for what I plan on doing with my car in the future. I've learned a good lesson from all this. 650hp for a rear wheel drive car especially a corvette or camaro is in my opinion overkill.. Sometimes less power can actually be more fun. Balance of power and traction is key on road courses. Hopefully i will be able to prove my point at willow springs in August. I should be able to drive out of the corners with more confidence with a car that has better balance. Time will tell....
jrock702 I got a 18 ZL1 and true 650 horses is over and I’ll probably never push that car to the max. But it’s nice to know it’s there. Once my warranty is expired I’m thinking about the whipple SC IDK yet. I don’t blame you and have a bad taste in your mouth with your corvette. A lot of money wasted. We live and we learn. I’ve wasted plenty money on my 50th edition SS. Just to trade it in 8months later. 1le is a sweet car. Looking forward to seeing your videos.
Thank you! I appreciate the support. It means alot to me. Congrats on your ZL1!
Too much Black on top. The sunroof was too much as it is
Everyone has their own taste... I'm very happy with the look. Thanks for watching...
ur 100% right
you can get this car in Automatic, the ZL1 1Le is a standard only
you cannot get this car in automatic... Not that I'm aware of anyway... The 1le package comes in manual only regardless if it's a ss 1le or a zl1 1le.
You cannot get the 1LE package with an automatic, please don't spread misinformation.
Too slow 455 hp and top speed 165 !
If you can’t tell the difference between this and a corvette that’s sad . Typical Camaro poor design poor engineering example you need to push a button for rev matching this should be an automatic computer function and so meany other issues I could write a book .
Lol!!! Here we go! I knew this would be coming. Sure, I can tell the difference between a camaro and a corvette. The performance gap Between the c7 or c7 grand sport and The Camaro ss 1le vs the price gap just doesn't correlate... Do some research on this and you will see. The Camaro ss 1le is a solid track contender. Time will tell... Willow Springs in August... Full video to come. The rev match is controlled by the computer. This is a feature you can turn on or off just like the vette. Once turned on it stays on until you turn the car off or hit the paddle again to deactivate.
My loved my '08 M3 but it would only run right around 165 mph on the Abaun, (you can check out my video as well as my lap on the Ring). Another thing about my old M3 was no TORQUE, I believe the V8 had a pavement pounding 295 foot pounds, sure it loved RPM but back here in the USA it sucked as a daily driver. Having rev match on all the time would be annoying, I'm glad its easily activated/deactivated with the steering paddles. In a day and age of invasive computerized cars its nice to have a car you can tune to your needs with so many different set-ups. As a onetime diehard Mustang lover I gotta say, if you haven't driven one of these 1LEs and truly tried it out your missing out on a really great car.
Congrats the only figure you got right was the horsepower. Which is identical to the Corvette. Good job.
Just wanted to weigh in on the rev match feature. Most experienced heel & toe drivers find it a bit of an unusual experience at first...but once you get used to it, it is actually more accurate and precise bringing up the rpm’s on the down shifts and takes a lot of the extra work out especially braking and aggressive cornering. The clutch in these cars grabs a little wierd, as most already have felt. You gotta drive this thing aggressively to appreciate what it can do. You instinctively want to crack the throttle, and at times I still do, but the rev match (when on) beat me to it! In fact even normal street driving, if it’s off, or I forgot to turn it on, and then down shift, there’s that “tug” for a second, cause the revs didn’t come up as much as needed. It’s like “what”..? It’s a great tool when you learn to work with it. I’ve had guys breathing down my neck, and I got a 90 degree right turn coming up....so, okay, see if you can follow me through this turn. Comin’ into it, land, brakeing, slam scond, revs snap up perfect, gas, gone with a four wheel power slide. I want to add it’s also a 18’ SS1LE with meth & whipple mods. This thing screams fun...especially when you get picked on, they’re thinking it’s just an “SS”...😆
The GEN6 SS 1LE is the only modern sport car that I (might) wouldn't rather have than a C6 Z06. I would love a new SS 1LE. I may end up trading my low mileage 02 SS on one if I find a price I like.
