Inspired by road racing, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE starts with the Camaro SS body and interior, with upgraded performance elements from the ZL1.
Its unique gear and suspension tuning, with tires capable of handling the increased acceleration, the Camaro 1LE is geared for road-racing performance.
This option is offered on the Camaro 1SS, and 2SS coupe models. The first 1LE package was inspired by Camaro's Pro-Am road racing involvement in 1988. While the Camaro 1LE is geared for handling the speed and turns of road-racing, it keeps the interior features of convenience.
Engine
The 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine, found in the Camaro SS, delivers 426 horsepower, and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Tremec TR 6060, six-speed, stick transmission is optimized for track racing. It is equipped with an air-to-liquid cooling system and short-throw shifter for track use. Many compare this Camaro to the Ford Mustang Boss 302 in the track-ready sports car category.
Package Features
The 1LE package begins with a larger front stabilizer bar, and solid rear stabilizer bar, for more control. To increase the level of traction, stronger rear-axle shafts were added. The strut tower brace improves response in steering, and the front and rear Goodyear Eagle Supercar G-2 tires increase grip at higher speeds.
The Camaro ZL1- inspired bearings, toe links, and rear shock mounts deliver better on-track performance, and the high-capacity fuel pump provides improved delivery during cornering.
