I'm not sure lol..I think it is a combination of things. (the rim style & that they are chrome, with the white and the not so aggressive body) Yours, for example, is more of what a Camaro "should" look like IMO.

With stock tires on the LT1 the SS 1LE has a good chance. Put the SS1E tires (not very good drag tires), or DRs on the LT1 and the LT1 will put a few cars at least on the 1LE. Of course driving will still matter. Weight and suspension difference.

This is what comes to mind when I look at pictures of an SS bumper. Some sort of cheek guards. LOL

Someone made a joke earlier about the bumper looking like the Mandalorian Helmet.

Exactly why I bought an LT1, I just couldn't pay for those cheeks. That and I like the LT1 daytime running lights better.

I agreed on daytime lights.
Looks, i think LT1 more cleaner but little stuff from SS seems worth it. It was hard to pick for me…

After owning a 2SS, a ZL1, and now an LT1 the LT1 is the best and cleanest looking of the three. Especially from the front head on. I am not knocking the SS.

That’s subjective. I think the LT1 front end is fugly. The grill is the worst. A total deal breaker.

Absolutely subjective, I don't care for what I feel looks like cartoonish accents on say a 2019 SS front end or the "cheeks" on the newer SS. I do however like the more subtle flows and curves on my LT1 front bumper, I enjoy the more sleeperish effect it emits around the general population, as only enthusiasts and gearheads know what is under the skin. It is usually brushed off as a rental 4 banger or v6 rental till a tap the throttle and commence gapping.

You are right. The lt1 looks way better then the SS. I think the 1le and Zl1 look more agressive tho.
