Muscle Design Poise and Smart- 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE
When it comes to muscle cars, there are lots of notes to compare between 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe and Ford’s Mustang Boss 302. In a bid for a market share of muscle cars, Ford’s designers revamped the Mustang’s pony car, fitting it with a finely tuned chassis, suspension and brakes and fusing it beautifully with a torrent of power similar to Niagra Falls. Ford’s Boss 302 can do the weekly grocery shopping going at 60 m.p.h three-tenths of a second faster than heavy 1LE. The ILE is 400 pounds heavier than its Mustang rival and gets up to 60 miles in 4.7 secs, but is still worth every cent.
Exterior Appeal
The visual aesthetics that separate the 1LE from the usual SS are the rear lip spoiler, shineless blackhood, daunting black 20-inch aluminium wheels, and the red Brembo brake calipers. Chevrolet’s touch of adding menacing wheels gives the car a sleek but slightly threatening look. The designers have cheated a little bit by borrowing certain features of the Camaro's 1LE's rolling stock from the ZL1. The lightweight black alloy wheels from the ZL1, are 20 inches in diameter, sealed in 285/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle Supercar G:2 tires and are the exact ones dressing the front wheels of the Camaro ZL1.
This high-performance rubber becomes super sticky once warmed up on the road, and this means you'll be throttling up the mountain with this under you in no time, and coming down without hesitation, as mentioned by experts at Lynch Chevy Dealer in Mukwanago.
The low roof line looks elegant; it is unsuitable for tall drivers as getting a knock on the head every time you get in and out of the driver's seat - just a bit irritating not to mention the bruising and the bumps - not good for a first time date!
Interior Appeal
The inside of the motor is decked in noir plastic, firmly edged with gray trimmings which does make the car look a shade insipid, but the added benefit is that you won't jump into a hot seat in the midday sun. Once sitting comfortably behind the Alcantra wheel, the Camaro 1LE is most impressive because the manufacturer hasn’t modified the 6.2 – liter LS3 V8 engine for many reasons.
Without The Technical Mumbo-Jumbo
The sudden stopping power of the Camaro 1LE is reliable showing no signs of stickiness or hesitancy when braking into a corner, sharp turn or slamming the center pedal when coming off the straight road. The car has the capability to stop with confidence, ease and assurance every single time.This is comforting to know.
The biggest plus in favor of the 1LE is just how nifty it feels on the track and truly gives you the feeling this is a much smaller car. The muscular body stays stiff through the dips around steep corners. This is a car that growls reassuringly with precise driving along the open highways. The electronic power assisted steering is superbly balanced, and weights up the moment you spin it in either direction. Avoid hammering the brakes or jerking the tiller and this nimble little number will happily toe a smooth line through a bend. The behind of this model juts out ever so slightly as you power out and set up for your next cornering challenge.
Summary
The 1LE weighs 3,875 pounds – 15 times more than a standard Camaro 1SS – it manages to handle its weight with much poise. It comes in at the pricey end of the market at $37,035 which is $5,960 less than the Boss 302, and the 1LE does not even stall around corners.
You could not wish for anything better at this price tag and you don't have to save up to buy the next model. When this one goes out of date next year GM are willing to sell you certain accessories to modernize this model.
