The Camaro SS/ 1LE is no slouch. I had one step up to me at a stop light the other day. I was surprised how well it kept up considering its heavier than the Supra.

They handle with witchcraft too, I dunno how the hell GM did it. The 6th Gen Camaro is criminally underrated and overlooked - by far the best of the Muscle Trinity.

The suspension articulates so damned well in that car.

Especially the tuning with Magnerides! Even the Perf Pack GT has it.

I have never owned a GM product and typically not a fan. Ok I give big UPs to GM for the c7 Z06 and ZR1- and the balls to make a mid engine vette.

but the Camaro was always a redneck, loud, pig. Well as a track rat I am super impressed with both 1LE- you are right the suspension is unexplainable (witchcraft) and the linear torque in the LT1 1LE is wonderful- i have driven one on the track (friends)

Styling is not for me. Super subjective so I give fans a pass to love whatever they wish. But unarguably a potent track weapon and quite a value actually

Tires and suspension ain't cheap unless you're cheaping out. A good tire is gonna run MINIMUM $300 per tire and a decent set of coilovers is gonna run $2k+.
OMG things are so cheap down where you are!

91 octane plus a bottle of octane booster is probably cheaper then 93 anyway.
My wife would definitely be like "you paid how much for this car and you need to do that every time you get gas?"

That'd also push me a tiny little bit closer to an EV... although I'm pretty far from that at this point......

Co-Sign.

1SS/1LE is 46k new - It's a no brainer, by far the best handling of the muscle trinity.

If Chevy keeps it going another gen (not likely) and does the "Future Retro" on a 3rd or 4th Gen Camaro (think 2+2 C7 in looks) - I think they overtake the Mustang in sales again.

Do you know if Chevy will replace with some other similar genre vehicle, perhaps electric powered? Or is Chevy vacating that sports car segment (other than the higher priced Corvette)?
