Rustlestiltskin Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Lold when they said the v6 1LE will be neck n neck competition for the new GT350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Pretty sure he meant the SS. I don't buy it either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Pretty sure he meant the SS. I don't buy it either way though. The V8 1LE will outrun the GT350 - there are multiple GM interviews and they are confident they have it covered. The guys talking have seen the performance of the GT350. The GT350R will be quicker. It will be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Keep in mind there are 3 performance trims on gt350. Base and tech, track, and r. I bet it'll beat the base, rival the track due to having better tires, and lose to r. They'll still pick with Gt350 though, regardless of the numbers.

Not Brian Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Also, here are my Recaros for comparison (I think mine look cooler) And wtf is with that armrest thing? Looks like it would be awkward to open.. and no ebrake handle? Just a button? Kinda gay.

Dr. Apex Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I certainly like mine but there are days where the seat materials could be better. I do like the look of the perforated Alcantara in the camaro. The GT350 Recaro's look stunning, were it not likely to cost a small fortune I'd consider trying to get a set of those for my car. http://a38898d4011a160a051fb191.gearheads.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/shelby-gt350r-09.jpg?9939c0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 They go for about $2k for the Camaro. I have been tempted a couple of times but that is a lot of cash to replace something that works well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been tempted a couple of times but that is a lot of cash to replace something that works well enough. Yep, mine were $1600. I'd bet they cost a good bit more from the Shelby. Mine will do just fine but that better material would be highly appreciated. The biggest difference in the new Camaro's seats would be the lack of shoulder belt holes. I would guess very few people use them really but they look better at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE Expected To Outperform The Shelby GT350 Mustang versus Camaro, Camaro versus Mustang. It’s an ongoing battle fought at drag strips, stop lights and various road courses across the United States. The latest shots were fired in the Windy City after Chevrolet revealed the 2017 Camaro 1LE in both a V6 variant and traditional V8-powered package. During our time to chat with Al Oppenheiser, chief Camaro engineer, we got right down to business and asked what everyone wants to know: will the 2017 Camaro SS 1LE outperform the Shelby GT350? “That’s obviously our intent. I have the answer, but I’ll let the rest of you decide how we did. Our goal is to up the game with our competitor, just like they upped the game with the GT350. Everyone had to expect we would punch back. I will tell you this car is three seconds faster than the previous 1LE. Your readers can go out and make their own conclusions,” Oppenheiser stated in utmost confidence. It surely sounds like the GT350 is going to have something more to worry about when the 1LE hits the streets later this year, especially knowing the Camaro team benchmarked the hopped up Mustang. “We’re plowing new ground with the V6 1LE, and for the SS 1LE, our initial target benchmark was the fifth-generation 1LE. But, obviously, Ford came out with their GT350 and we changed our sights. We’re not worried,” he added. And so the battle continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 There is a lot of talk about the "3 seconds faster" reference. I am not that familiar with road racing but they are saying that is on a 2 minute course - so 3 seconds is significantly faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It weighs two fat bitches less than my whale and has 30 more (stock) whorespower so 3 seconds faster sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Curious if they stick with the $3,500 package price or raise it to 4k? They always come out with better wheel and tire specs than the Mustang, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like an easy/cheap upgrade for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and me both. No reason the performance package doesn't have 10" wide square setup at minimum, if they want to stagger, a 10/11 like the 1LE would be nice, and some wider/better rubber. That's the hard part with comparing cars in magazines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
