I’ve had a 2017 1le for 3 years. And I still open my garage from time to time to peak and smile. The fact that I’m still watching ss1le videos even though I have owned 1 for 3 years is a sign on its own. What a lovely car. 🏎🥰
I bought my 1SS 1LE new on June 2nd 2020. Its hibernation time here in ohio right now but, I still peek in the garage and pull the cover back every few days to just look at it. These cars are so fun to drive and drop dead sexy.
I also had a yellow 17 SS 1LE and traded it. I think about that car almost daily. It’s my goal to buy another one. These cars are amazing. One of their best cars ever!
Yep...these car are truly bad ass. Mine is a 17 SS 6speed. I didn't get a 1LE as it will never see the inside of a track. I did get the performance exhaust, black rims, and Magniride suspension though. Have almost 42k miles on it now. Runs quicker than new.
Dig my new 2020 SS 1LE even though it’s only gone 250 miles! Saved and scrimped for a long time for it; just a fantastic vehicle. I haven’t even come close to using all it can do. Accurate review. Thanks 👍👍
Hey Nice job!! I have the 2018 zl1 1le and I LOVE IT!!! so much fun, total confidence and predictable. love passing mustangs (all flavors) and $400k cars at COTA :) Chevy got it right to be sure!
Its almost like they want to them to fail so that they would have an excuse to quit making them and to give credence to their agenda and tell consumers what to buy. It would all be for them to get big bonuses and to be told " they have good ideas". You know, same stuff they did in the mid 1970s. Making cars that they want to produce instead of what the consumers want.
I personally argue that the 4th gen Camaro/trans am were the start of good handling muscle cars for GM. Sam Strano is known for winning multiple amateur scca events in a nearly stock 2000 Camaro in a class that included vehicles like Porsche’s and corvettes. I am a little biased as I own a 02 WS6 as well as my Miata but I was surprised to see how well the trans am keeps up with my Miata going through same turns. Miata is obviously superior in fast transitions and tight turns but the trans am I feel handles sweepers better (highway on ramps). I’d love to see those cars get more attentions then just the drag race crowd. I think they would surprise people.
I’d love to compare a 4th gen now that I have more driving experience. I haven’t ridden in one in many years and my memories weren’t that great, just that it made lots of V8 noises and felt very soft.
@@NappMotorsports yup like you said base models are very soft, but they had handling package options for both that made a huge difference. 1LE or SS for Camaro and WS6 for the Trans Am. I’d recommend one of those unless the base model has been modified. I’d let you take a spin in mine but I’m way down here in FL.
I had a 97 z28 years ago and installed pretty much the whole BMR catalog on that car! It was amazing! My dad had a C5 Z06 at the time and couldn't beat my lap times with a 130k mile bone stock LT1!
Wished US cars were more accessible here in UK, you really get some amazing model like this one, Corvette, Hellcat and for such a good value. C8 for example we have only 1 in the UK and it's on sale for £132K...
@@NappMotorsports speak for yourself. They can keep all those 1.3l 120 hp shit boxes. Or the 280hp “halo” jdm cars that are slow as fuck compared to this Camaro.
I had the opportunity to drive a SS 1LE just this past weekend. I was surprised at how well it shrunk around me, and how well the eDiff works. The S550 Mustang is easier to see out of, but it would take some work for the chassis to keep up with the 1LE. However, I missed the violence of the C5Z. Seems the extra weight (and the more advanced chassis tuning) make the power more of a non-event in the 1LE.
Late model pony cars have come a long way over time. I have a 2012 Mustang 5.0 and while I enjoy it, I do have three major complaints. 1. The SRA (which was resolved with the S550) 2. Size (it's huge, and they only got bigger) 3. Weight, at 3600lbs while lighter then most these days "coughchallycough" that's a lotta weight to battle physics with.
The weight like in most cars are airbags, smog equipment, computers, wiring harnesses and the standard accessories that now come on cars. Thats 2 to 300 lbs alone.
@@NappMotorsports I really think it’s one of the biggest loop hole kind of cars out there. Not many people pay attention to them but it’s certainly one of the best sports cars out and they are cheap.
@@NappMotorsports the Z28 was supposed to be the “ultimate camaro” has the 427 from the z06 and a host of track focused upgrades/tuning. The 5th gen SS 1LE is faster.....

Nothing quite like owning a car you love.
I’m doing the same thing...... These cars are the best in my opinion!

Camaros make their owners smile all the time, especially if they are 1LE.
YES, Camaros are the best! 😀😀
They’re definitely great!
Mines is a 2ss & still handles amazing! I can only imagine the 1LE

Damn shame Chevy never advertised these cars. They could sell thousands with a performance ad campaign like Dodge does sometimes.
Both Chevy and Ford fall into the same sad category for marketing.

We would trade you guys in a heartbeat for all the cool euro spec and JDM cars that you guys can get your hands on over there.

Thanks!

Now I'm picturing a candy bag full of tiny Dylans.
Halloween is just around the corner!
You must be ready for a ZL1 now!
Definitely would not turn down the opportunity to drive a ZL1!

The blind spots in the 1LE are still huge, but the backup camera is a life saver here.
@@NappMotorsports Blind spots are over rated with properly adjust mirrors and a round 2Inch spot mirror on the passenger side mirror.

Even with as heavy as these are, the mag ride and overall suspension make them feel very light.
@@NappMotorsports Yeah I've driven a C7 with the mag ride, it was pretty impressive in itself, though I didn't care for the car overall.
The weight like in most cars are airbags, smog equipment, computers, wiring harnesses and the standard accessories that now come on cars. Thats 2 to 300 lbs alone.
the 1 le the best Camaro to buy.id say thou bump the hp to 500 and you have a real beast...
It’s a great off-the-shelf option for a camaro for sure.
Ny! Love my 1LE I live close to the area.
Great car! Really surprised us both.

Such a great car! If you want a car to just turn the key and go you can’t go wrong with a 1LE!
I was so shocked at how good it was out of the gate.

What key? Jk lol
Safe car, Boys...love it💪🏼🙏🏽
Thanks!
V8 Miata? Out of my league but has both attributes. Maybe Keith Tanner would let you test his Martini Targa car...
I have yet to drive a V8 Miata...
What exhaust?
Factory with an X Pipe
@@NappMotorsports Which x pipe in particular? It sounds really good!
the only one worth a stick lol, even still the clutch won't last lol
So much fun
a really fat myotta (LOL)
