Chevrolet is preparing to offer a rival for the Mustang Boss302, with the company announcing a 1LE performance package for the 2013 Camaro, in addition to confirming that the LT, SS and ZL1 versions have received the MyLink infotainment system.
The 1LE is based on the SS with the manual transmission adding tech, exterior and interior extra goodies. The vehicle's 6.2-liter LS3 V8 delivers the same 426 hp and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm), but the six-speed manual has been tweaked for more precise shifts. However, the engine has received a dual-mode exhaust that offers a deep growl.
In addition to that, the power steering has also been upgraded for improved feedback, with a strut tower brace being mounted for the same purpose. The vehicle uses upgraded shock absorbers and stabilizer bars and rides on 20-inch aluminum rims that come with ZL1 bearings. The Camaro ZL1 uses a matte black hood, a front splitter and a rear spoiler, while inside we get a short-throw shifter and a flat-bottom steering wheel,
“The Camaro 1LE combines the best elements of the SS and ZL1 to take road-racing performance to a whole new level," "That the 1LE breaks the three-minute lap at VIR puts it in the upper echelon of performance cars. That it starts under $40,000 makes the Camaro 1LE one of the most affordable, most capable track-day cars offered by any manufacturer," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer, highlighting the vehicle’s price.
