Chevrolet Camaro 1LE package – get used to our taillights

Get used to our taillights with the 1LE pack

The track-bred 1LE package, available on the new Chevrolet Camaro, is designed to deliver exhilirating performance.  The new 1LE packages expand the performance envelope on the Camaro SS, and now, for the first time, on the Camaro LT.

It gives drivers the performance edge they’ve been searching for in a sports car.  The 1LE Track Package takes Camaro performance to a whole new level, offering stiffer suspension, more aggressive higher-grip tyres, and enhanced braking and cooling.

It is offered as an optional package on the Camaro LT which has a 3.6-litre V6 engine, and on the Camaro SS with its big 6.2-litre V8.  On the Camaro LT coupé models, the 1LE pack features the Camaro SS’s FE3 suspension, while the SS benefits from parts off the Camaro ZL1 (the fastest meanest Camaro – see below) being its electronic limited-slip diff and FE4 suspension with Magnetic Ride dampers.

“Get used to our taillights” says Chevy about its Camaro 1LE.

Camaro ZL1

The new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will be the most powerful production Camaro ever.  Its 6.2-litre supercharged LT4 V8 is quoted at 485kW (kiloWatt, not horsepower!) and with available 10-speed (ten!) which gives it a 0-60mph time at a supercar-challenging 3.5 seconds, and it can run the ¼-mile in 11.4 seconds at 204km/h.
