The 1LE package for the Camaro was definitely a
game changer for fans and track addicts nationwide, and at the time of release,
was only able to be fitted onto models with a manual transmission. As the staff
of Nseavoice.com pointed out in a feature this week, Chevy is now
offering the package for the automatic transmission. Offered on the ZL1 1LE
model, it adds a large wing, and super cool spool-valve shocks. Also said to
improve speed, the automatic will now be able to go even faster on the track
than the manual model.
The ZL1 1LE will be receiving the automatic
transmission in February, giving it a noticeable edge over rough-and-tumble
sworn rivals like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. This is the powerful model
that sees the addition of a supercharger on the V-8, boosting the output to 650
horsepower, and installing a host of awesome suspension and styling upgrades.
Those on duty and reporting the automotive goods day in and out at Car
and Driver claimed that this is “one of the most solid values there is”
within the fast-car category, and loved the power that the V8 swapped from the
Corvette Z06 eagerly provides.
The upgrade offers a manually adjustable front
suspension that really is the icing on the cake as far as what is available
when you reach true supercar territory, as this is a creation of the utmost
“royal in racing” caliber that stops from 70 MPH in just 143 feet. Standard
equipment now includes power front seats with heating and ventilation, a heated
steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The touchscreen
infotainment system is known to be among the industry's most user-friendly
platforms, featuring clear menus, large on-screen buttons, and the best in features
such as 4G LTE an Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto capability.
This model is the third member of the
sixth-generation Camaro 1LE family, following in the footsteps of the V6 1LE,
and the V-8 powered SS 1LE. As the skilled team at Motor Trend claimed,
redoing the grille helped with the task of increasing the amount of airflow
into a few of the 11 radiators on board the ZL1, not just succeeding in cooling
the engine off, but helping with aerodynamics to boot. After extreme testing
sessions, they also claimed that the biggest difference between the ZL1 and the
1LE are the shocks. The spool-valve advantage is boiled down to low-speed
rebound and compression: they both are drastically different when traveling at
a faster rate.
The dampers are hard-mounted to the body, and the
tires incorporate the only rubber that exists in the suspension: there are no
rubber bushings to be found on this model. The Camaro team knows that track
rats love to make tweaks to their prized belongings, and front-end ride height,
the anti-roll bar in the rear, ability to mod the trick shocks cater to the
extremest in all car fans out there. Goodyear was tasked with developing a tire
that won't “quit after one lap,” and the ZL1 1LE rolls on 305/30ZR19 fronts,
and 325/30ZR19 rears. All of us on sales and service staff here at O'Rielly Chevy would love to help you
experience the excitement of the ZL1 1LE: one of the most memorable quotes we
have seen regarding its racing quality this year is: “I'm clapping my hands on
the straights; this thing is an uncaged race car!”
