I agree! But is is not solely up to him. I am friends with a few MT editors and they all LOVED the 1LE especially its performance for value.Part 2: http://www.motortrend.com/cars/chev...874CA85C3DE59A26E45B307E8A9B2B47E2A3971A7C6D9
Randy on the SS 1LE: I’ve been looking forward to the new Camaro SS 1LE because the versions I’ve been in have been really terrific. The engine is a big V-8, great sounds, fat torque curve, but it takes a while to get to the redline, I think partially because the car has really tall gears and a fairly wide ratio split. That braking capability was very impressive, almost unbelievably good considering it’s on a Goodyear Eagle F1 tire, which is a pure street tire. It’s not an R compound track tire. The best feature is the front-end grip. All the way though the corner, I could adjust the car with the steering. The front end never died, which is kind of unusual on a front-engine, rear-drive V-8-powered ponycar. The 1LE strikes me as an incredibly good value for the performance and the lap time and just the all-around performance automobile you can get for the price—really great to drive on track.
I have read his reviews on all of the cars tested so far and my interpretation is that I think he was hoping and expecting it to be better than it was. He still had to give a positive review given the 1LE is in contention for Best Driver's Car but i dont expect the 1LE to be in the top 3 when all is said and done.
