2019 Camaro SS 1LE - Page 4

Dolby109 · 04-20-2018, 09:04 AM

I've seen/heard them on the race track and they rip, and I heard one with a louder exhaust yesterday, and it was more raspy than normal but still sounded good.

There was a video I saw recently of a GT350 with full headers and exhaust and it didn't sound very good when he was revving the engine, but (to me) it sure sounded sweet as hell at full tilt 8k rpm.

Anyway sorry if I hijacked. I'd still have an SS 1LE as it's ~$10k cheaper and faster than the GT350, and the R is basically unobtanium.

Compared to my 5th gen 1LE, it didn’t sound as good.

Probably had the exhaust in touring mode the whole time. Smh

Nope. Definitely played with all the modes.

Looks bloated.

why do they have camouflage on the hood? Is there any change apart from the nostrils? I think it's gonna be krypton green in color :P

....what? That exhaust note alone is one of the main reasons why I wanted to get a GT350. If these damn stealerships would stop charging markup, I'd be in one of those right now instead of my 1LE--and I love my 1LE.

I think the GT350 sounds like a lawnmower on nitrous. I don't like it at all.

Actually, it's even higher! 11,990ft. Crazy snow walls too! I got out of my truck and climbed another 10ft just to say i'd been at 12,000.

And you were right about it being Loveland Pass, Roadkingcoupe:

Cool snow wall!

This looks pretty good, the blade spoiler fits better with the new front fascia. I need to see how it looks in videos and the streets to compare it to the current one. I think the current one looks really good, saw a 50th anniversary one today and it got my attention.
