No one ever said it would be cheaper than the 5th gen. Al O did say that people would be pleased with pricing. That wasn't the case for sure. But we also don't know what the performance numbers will be. If its anything close to the ATS-V then I would be pleased if I were them.
I respect that... and that you understand where one pushes the envelope more than the other, and then vice-versa, and it repeats again & again...
but, but, but the pill said the 1LE is trash???? how could this be???
Option for option there price is right there with the GT. But there downfall was adding all the options as standard equipment, thus having a higher starting point, and that is what most people see. I would much rather have the basic option like the GT, then add what I want, not what they give.
I am just poking fun. Like I said, I respect what GM is doing with their performance cars. I just would not own one. But with them doing what they do it pushes Ford and what Ford does, pushes GM, etc.
For sure. This back and forth is amazing right now. Since 2003 it seems the performance levels of cars have really reached new levels for the money.
That's nice. Thanks for sharing.but, but, but the pill said the 1LE is trash???? how could this be???
news flash: 1LE is a bad ass car.
I have an S550 AND a 1LE, and as far as performance goes, the 1LE feels like it's on another level despite being the outdated generation. however, the s550 looks a million times better.
they will both be replaced by a gt350, tho. ;)
Why? It's been stated multiple times the 1le was a benchmark for the SS. It may not be as fast but it should be close.
Great post..seems these days if you drive a certain brand that means you can't admire other brands. Most of the time it's just silly banter by immature, uninformed "homers". I like 'em all, Corvettes, Z-28s, Super Snakes, Shelbys, Vipers, GTRs, Hellcats M3s, etc. I just happen to drive a S550 and working on making it faster, and faster, and faster...if you like fast, great-handling cars of all makes & models this is THE time to be a gearhead IMO.
I know its hard to admit it but, if Randy Pobst can put almost 2 seconds difference with the 1le on a shorter course, then 4 seconds on this course seem to legit. I m surprised on the rc-f time though.
After test driving the Challenger SRT8, Camaro SS/RS & Mustang GT I thought they were all worthy of owning and each had their own issues. With the dealer offering $8,000 off MSRP the SRT8 and was the best overall car so I bought it.

2 weeks later I went back to Ford and they gave me a screaming deal on the GT so I bought it too.
18 months later I bought the SS/RS.
It really is a great time to be a gearhead yet SO MANY fanboys out there are missing out.
Gotta say I like what I'm seeing on the new Camaro & it should be a beast.
