C&D Review: 2015 Camaro SS 1LE on the order of the Porsche 911 GT3

For $3500, the 1LE option transforms the Camaro SS into a finely tuned handling instrument, a track-ready performer on the order of the Porsche 911 GT3. Even if you never take your Camaro to a road course, 1LE is a must-have option for the driving enthusiast. It’s telling that the order form won’t let you pair an automatic transmission and 1LE—presumably, that’s Chevy’s way of saying, “Serious Inquiries Only.”

Same here, It is a joy to drive.

The 1LE is finally getting the respect it deserves.

It's funny knowing GM had the 2015 Mustang GT PP already beat back in 2013 with the 1LE.

My only regret about my 1LE is I bought it so late in the year I only got three weeks of playing time with it before parking for the winter. She goes in to storage tomorrow :(

I love this car. I picked mine up on June 4th and only have 2172 miles on it and now it's almost time for it to be tucked away for the winter. One thing that's so true from the article is the comments regarding the interior. So many people tell me the same thing about it. I think for the price we are paying for these cars, we should have a much better interior and this key issue shouldn't be an issue at all because it should be a push button start and it should have the same electronic brake like the Vette has.

We can get a 1LE for under $38K MSRP. Given the motor, trans, and capabilities of this thing ... I couldn't give two shats about the interior. Its more than adequate for my needs. I spent my $38K for the performance, sound, and feel - and got every damn dollars worth.

This is just too awesome. Camaro and 911 GT3 in the same sentence. SMH!!! This is insane!! Never would have thought this could happen given how shity the 5th gen Camaro started. These are truly great days. We are in the platinum era of automotive excellence!

I agree totally!! The interior is not as bad as it's made to be. I actually like it and it fits the car well. Yes, the 2010 & 11's are shit compared to the changes they made. If you want a better interior buy a M4, C63 AMG coupe or and Audi S5 I mean come on! Motor trend didn't give 2 shits about the interior but C&D does. The C&D peeps are not car guys just car journalist. Carlos and Randy are true car guys and it shows in their comparisons.

Is GM paying C&D or is it true?

Now that the 2015 Mustang is out the the 1LE the name is getting major play. This forum will be getting more crowded. And I think Chevy better make sure the CA6 1LE comes out ASAP to make sure the PP GT doesn't push around the new Camaro on a race track. I do not want to see a 2015 1LE win a comparison test with the 2016 GT and 2016 SS.

An interesting item in the story is where they point out the functional benefit of poor visibility. It is fun bouncing the Camaro off track curbing. Still, I wish for a 1" higher roof.

As much as I want the 6th gen SS to match the 1LE, I don't think GM will do it unless they can get the performance out of a softer suspension. I love the ride of my 1LE but I doubt many people would for the base car.

I agree the 1LE suspension should not be the base. But if there is no 2016 1LE then the 2015 1LE still might win out a comparison with the base SS.

Fun to drive is the key point.
