Looking forward to heading out to Chuckwalla soon.......Camaro 2SS with 1LE Track Package, magnetic ride suspension, pirelli super car tires, brembo 6 piston discs, on board data logger and track video recorder, factory cold air intake, recaro seats, 6 speed, etc. Ordered it the way I wanted it, took some extra time due to the strike.

Data logger and Recaro seats are optional items? Nice!

Ride looks really slick. Keep us updated on how she runs and handles. The mag suspension is like science fiction meets Hot Rod magazine:eek:

I think they're one of the best looking cars out there. How much was it? You don't have to say, but we're looking at getting one maybe by end of the year.

Msrp was 53k, then $2000 rebate and Jason’s deal brings it down considerably. As a bonus for the wife gm gives you a $700 Costco gift card.

Apples to oranges, but a couple of months ago Arrowhead Chevy here in PHX had a row of 1SS 1LE Camaros with data logging and Recaros for 41-43k before TT&TTL... tempting for sure. I’m holding out for a C8 at this point, but I’ve owned several Camaros and have considered picking one up before they stop building them next year.

He has another one in blue that I ordered first but didn’t like the color, Jason was cool and let me order another one, the blue one is in the showroom now, same car for about $2000 less, it doesn’t have the data logger or the cold air intake.

Great looking car! I'm sure it will be a ball of fun. I had a rental Camaro a few years back and at 6'3'' it was just too damn small. Wish it wasn't would love to have one as a commuter.

Pretty cool. I'll be converting my Formula Enterprise to FE2 over the winter and will need to do some run in & testing. I'll hit you up and see if you're interested in hitting the track once I get my car converted for some track time.

Bad ass. I am not a Chevy car guy but when I picked up my new truck a few months ago I saw the ZL1 1LE package and I said that is a Camaro I could own. The 1LE package is so bitchen. I see the full floaters through the front wheels! Awesome you are going to do some open track with it! There are lots of videos on Youtube of 1LEs smoking so much on the track.

Congrats!!!!

Update, so I ordered this car about six months ago and I ordered it in blue, it came in I really wasn’t all that in love with the color when I saw it, Jason at Selman was totally cool and he said I’ll order you another one and so we went with the red color. The blue one I ordered is still sitting in their showroom, last night my wife drops me off and says I love the blue one. Jason thought she was just messing with us, so did I, but she was being truthful, so you know what they say happy wife happy life, so Jason is getting the blue one ready, we’re picking it up this morning. So the red one is now in the showroom if anyone wants it :)

Been wanting a 1LE for a while now - the gen 6 is dialed!! There’s an ‘18 near me that I dig but it doesn’t have the data logger (PDR). You have yourself an awesome car sir!

I actually like the Blue one better and that's strange as I typically don't like Blue and 2 of my last 3 cars have been Ruby Red...lol

Almost bought the same car in white...second choice was the Gray above.

They are now making the 1LE in the 10 speed auto and if that had been available when I got my new Mustang I would have really considered it.

I hear you on the auto, I just wanted to keep it old school with the 6 speed manual. Definitely slower that way, but it sure feels faster, and takes me back to high school when i dreamed of a camaro 37 years ago.

They have about 40 different dark reds, all different names, it definitely was not the same color that comes on the new trucks that we really liked, it is more orange for sure, thats why we went with the blue, it really pops, you cant miss it, im sure the police will feel the same way.

If it wasn't my daily and I was tracking it on anything with corners I would have gotten the manual.

For the OC/IE people we should get together after the first of the year and go run the cars at a local event.

https://www.puretrack.net/

I have done one of the events at Angels stadium and its a a good time without a full day drive and big $$$.

How long are the straightaways? With the chevelle I could launch, slow all the way down, put the blinker on, and then turn, corners aren't really its thing.

There were cars from every walk of life there. stock saturns all the way to lambos or Mercedes GT's.

Might now win in the corners but it would be fun sliding the big girl around...lol
