Big Meech and the rear diff I’m learning it shares with zl1. Parts seem to go on and on. Seems to be a harder camaro to find at dealerships. But the upgrade package was well worth the 3000 or so it added to sticker price. Congrats on your car. I’m in love with this one.

OnlineCarShow I owned a 2008 c6 z06 too and on the fence between a new SS 1le or used C7 Z51. Which of these cars is a better daily driver in your opinion ? Which is better on longer rides? Better communicates with the driver? Your opinion is going to help me make my decision . Thanks

The Vet was twitchy because the tires were so wide. They really catch the natural ruts in the road.

Is your a 2ss or 1ss

And you got a lot more than just the coolers for the transmission you get a electronic activated elects limited slip differential, short throw shifter what you said, and the transmission is gear differently as well as the rear axel I believe First third fourth and 6 gear are different it's the tr6060 with the close ratio gears, you can only get this in the 1 l e everything else you can get but you may have to order it from the factory they made the elsd electronic limited-slip differential available late 2018 same thing with the Recaro seats, as far as I know the PDR performance data recorder which he does not have is one option that the one I leave package makes available that you cannot get on any other SS or lower Camaro, the other thing most people don't understand is that the 1LE package also gets you whether you have a 1 SS or a 2ss, 2ss only available in 2018 with 1LE, the wheels can only be had with 1 l e package, you also get magnetic ride suspension with a specific tune Recaro seats which are heated and ventilated whether it's a 2ss or a 1ss but the one ss you don't get the buttons so you have to put your own in everything else is in the seat blower motors heating pads, you also get a heads up display and front splitter rear spoiler vinyl wrapped Hood 6-piston monoblock calipers buy Brembo front and 4 piston rear larger diameter two-piece rotors, ABS braking traction control systems stability Management Systems have all been optimized for the 1LE package, as well as Magnetic Ride Control and all this stuff comes standard the only thing that doesn't is the performance data recorder which allows you to take videos and record like a Data Logger all your engine stuff driving G's throttle inputs the course that you traveled it's developed by Cosworth and is way more than what you see in the car that is something that cost several thousand to install afterwards

Still have her and still in love with the car. I like the new Corvette coming out but honestly only car I’d ever sell Elvira for is maybe C6 Z06 or c6 ZR1.

Thanks for support

The Camaro SS1LE is one of the most stable cars on the road I’ve ever driven. I raced mine on dragstrip entire time I owned with drag radials too. Never had a single issue and it was so much fun to drive. One of the best cars ever built and probably the most underrated ever. You will love the 1LE. When you want a little more kick go E85 and longtube headers. Really woke mine up.

West Williams awesome thanks for watching. Love the blue. Was going red or blue.

Got mine about a month back too. Let’s keep in touch.

Great video man! Picked up a '18 2SS 1LE in the red just like yours. Already ordered some parts for it, lovely car!

Thanks man. Agree fully. To each his own.

How do you like it compared to the e92 m3. I have a e90 m3 now and an looking at a 1le to track it.

Thank you for that. Yeah caught a lot of crap for the video. But I feel more at home in the camaro guess that’s the only way to explain it 😂. Congrats on the Camaro man. I love mine 👌

Hey thanks for watching and the compliment! 🙏

Not my best video. But I’m in love with the Camaro 1le. Thanks 🙏

Thats interesting about the blower falling flat at 4500rpm never heard that before.

Yes it’s a hell of a car. I enjoy driving it more than the stingray z51.

If you don’t mind me asking why do you feel that was the best decision

@@BlackPanther1SS well I traded my 2011 for a 2018 2SS recently… that takes the win for the best decision now lol. The 6th gens are on another level from the 5th Gen camaros. The camaros IMO are just a lot more user friendly. Slap some winter tires on it and you can drive them year round, unlike the vette. It sounds and looks damn near as good (opinion) and is way more practical than a corvette.

I did the same, traded a 2001 z06 for a 2014 camaro l1e. Headers, tune, corsa extreme, cat delete and hurst shifter later--the camaro turned into a real animal. Can not say enough good things about the ls3. I am super comfortable and really like the 5th a ton.

Incredible cars. People give me crap for selling my corvette for a camaro until they drive the 1LE. It’s a true drivers car!!!!

Yes. The 1le is a true drivers car. I appreciate that. Thanks for the comment 🙏🙏

Thanks for stopping by. I check out what you have going on. Check out #iamacreator on KZfaq

Gen6 2SS I’ll check out the other facts. The grill was different on the 18 1le from the ss1 and ss2 I looked at when at the dealership. They have a colored half ring on bottom corners now. Thank you for watching and I’m loving the camaro.

So the ss 1le must have the older ss grill or it’s own

Gen6 2SS and I have read the 5th and 6th gear are higher on 1le for the ability to get to higher rpms easier on track. The 373 are an option on ss and ss2 and majority do have the 373 ratio.

I can feel a difference in rpm in 6th at 75mph over a friends ss2 with 373s. Granted these are gears not used in 1/4 mile times so that explains why even with higher gears in tranny the 1/4 mile time is still slower due to weight, wheels and additional downforce in 1le. Never personally raced 1/2 mile, so, not sure if it would effect the time there or not.

OnlineCarShow 3.73’s are the manual standard gear. There is no other option. media.chevrolet.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2015/may/2016-camaro/2016-camaro-specs.html

I’ll be honest I did it really quick to just explain why no more vette. Sorry man.

Nice definitely make a vid after install. I’d love to hear the kooks. I really like the way the pipes run on the kooks over the arh but some prefer the collector on arh. Think I’m going kooks as well. What size 1 7/8 or 2. I’m prob going 1 7/8.

From what I read, 2” is too big and will make me lose power. I read that those headers are more ideal for something like the LS7. So 1 7/8 it is. If all goes well, I’ll put up a short clip like the Borla one I did.

Eric Erickson yea I’ve read unless you get into 1000+ hp or turbo the 1 7/8 is perfect

Well I got the headers installed this past weekend and the setup is unreal. Kooks long tube combined with Borla ATAK sounds godly. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. When I’m on it. you can hear me at least 3 blocks up. People are jumping in their cars and rolling their windows up! I only have a 15 sec video right now of some straight pipe sounds on my channel. Hopefully get a proper video up this weekend when I get back in town. It’s definitely a noticeable power difference and I haven’t even tuned it yet. Getting a lot more traction loss than before.

💯 also the stingray wheelbase is shorter. I didn't like the shortening over how the c6 felt. And ss1le with have bigger wheels and Tires. Driving, even though it weighs alot more, I'd take the ss1le.

I like 20s better but will be roughrr

Honestly Speed I’d say my C6Z6, then C7Z51, then 1le. But its very close behind I think. Won’t take much. Now for cornering I’d say 1le, c6z6 then c7z51. Just because I feel less nervous behind the wheel on 1le and comfort level is increased. And as we all know cornering is all about connecting to the car. I have a lot of fun in this Camaro. The c6z6 was a thing of beauty. But its a very expensive one too. Too much titanium on that motor to have fun unless you have a fat wallet. Coming from being a Trans Am guy back in the day I think I found my home with Camaro.

Wow. Awesome response. Thanks for your insight. You may have just sold me on a. 1le!!

One of my all time favorite drivers. Yep to be honest I never drove the c7. I always felt nervous in it. Like it just never connected the road with me. And the 7 speed is straight trash. I know Chevy did for fuel economy but I miss 4-6 speeds.

The small screen is a Korean car recorder. Was given to be by a family member living there. Brand in Korean so don’t know but model is v700

OnlineCarShow thanks.. I meant name when saying brand.

Yea thought about reviewing it but I’m not even sure you can get this in the states. The menu does English great but my family member had to open and configure to English. He did say this is one of the better made Korean models they use over there pretty regular

AustinMathiasMedia yours is sweet too man. Already checked out yours on your channel. I have a back seat full of mods. So check back man. Got the new proclip phone clip coming too for review. Custom fit to the 6th gen. Stay in touch man and are you by chance in Texas?

Got porno underdash light kit opt7, new style of radar detector, phone clip, exhaust, tint, side tints, engine vinyl upgrades, interior vinyl, led grill light, and driving recording system from a friend in Korea that’s cheap and good.

Upcoming mods intake, kooks long tube headers and tune. Then I’ll hopefully procharge.

Yes and no. I love it right now. But we all know alcantara wears really bad and you can’t really clean suede. I’ve seen videos with cars after a lot of wear that things like the stick shift look like crap. So yes I like it now for feel and comfort but in the future once it stains and wears I’m sure I’ll grow to hate it and find a way to replace it. 😂. For interior the 2ss kills it. I almost bought a 2ss with sunroof and 10 speed auto. Was a very hard decision.

Thanks for the response, I am looking at a 2017 ILE for 8 k miles for about 35k similar price 2017 2SS. Although I like the ILE the determining factor would prob be the bad alcantara in the ILE.. It is still a hard decision but I guess, it will be the 2ss

You will not be disappointed either way 👍

OnlineCarShow best of 2ss 1le also not only does the transmission have different ratios for it's overdrive gear and 5th it also has a different first gear and second and it's a completely different transmission the regular Camaro comes with the T56 Magnum the one Le and the ZL1 come with the tr6060 sames transmission used in the Viper

Yes and his replaced that about 3 times since we have lived here about 8 years. Each with a crew I wouldn’t trust. Not only that it seems to run all summer without a break. His AC system all screwed up. They aren’t very friendly so never talked to him much.

Thanks now I’m back to vette again if you watch my latest. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for the compliment. 👍👍

Because it compares closer to the GT350R.

2ss version came out two months after I bought mine or I probably would have. I love the car either way. Extras on 2ss package as no biggy.

Yes it was z51 package. Had every option but competition seats.

@@OnlinecarshowNet1 Thank you for your reply and your videos lots of info. I've test drove 3 Stingrays ( Z51 with and without magnetic ride and a Grand Sport) Camaro 2SS with Magnetic ride 370Z Nismo Cadillac ATS-V and 911. These are great cars but somehow they lack of the raw visceral brawl feeling of the old sport cars. Maybe I should test drive the C6 Zo6

devnull128 the list is long. It’s well worth the upgrade price.

Yea. Haha. Wife got it there. I love the jacket.

Yes but it’s coming from experience of owning previous generation corvette too. I just recommend people drive the c7 a good bit and try the camaro options as well. Camaro 1LE is a pure drivers car and Chevy made a huge mistake not advertising it

Yes. I think if I would have gone Grand sport I would have been much better off coming from a c6 z06 before. It’s amazing how much thicker tires really help to stabilize a car

Agree totally. Nothing wrong with Vette, just not me I guess. I loved the Z06 I had before the stingray though. So I think I just like the meat on the tires is all is really came down to. The C7 was 3 inches shorter in wheelbase over c6 and maybe that was at play too. None the less I know stingray owners that swear by it and it was a perfect car mechanically never had a single issue. We owned a 2002 Mustang GT in the past that went to 260K miles without even water pump or alternator going out. Leather even looked brand new when we sold it. I probably should have looked at the GT and GT350 when making a decision and wish I would have more. I did look at a challenger but the salesman talked me out of that believe or not. When I saw the red 1le in the show room it hit me and seemed to call to me. It was right from the start :)

I use to own a modded 02 trans am too and had a grudge match back in the day almost every weekend with a 6.0 gto. You can search for a night video called Trans Am vs gto vs mustang. You’ll see me fish tail in the race because of a bad tire and a guy saying damn when I do it in background. 😂

OnlineCarShow 👍🏼 your 1LE IS A GREAT COLOR COMBO!!! I check ur video s out too

No I’m serious. Drive ss 1le and drive stingray.

Thank you. I love my camaro

OnlineCarShow Shes a beauty. I'm anxious to see how the '18 SS 1LE will compete with the '18 GT Performance Pack 2, they seem to stack up quite similar on paper.

Good question... for the money of course I’d say camaro. But if money didn’t matter maybe vette. It’s a hard choice for sure. The vette is lighter so faster a tiny bit. I don’t know now though. I love my camaro. But either way can’t go wrong

OnlineCarShow yeah, I’m fan of corvettes but I can’t afford a C7. I like the C6 but I feel it might be a bit too outdated now considering it costs the same as a used 2016 Camaro 2ss.

Yes I was corrected. Chevy has it listed on the sticker of a 2ss as an option so I shouldn’t have assumed. Must be a standard “option”. 😂

the 5th gen 1le had different ratios in the tr6060 transmission with 3.91 gears. with the 6th gen the 1le and SS both have same ratios in trany and diff 3.73

LME makes some really good motor swaps. I plan to supercharge or can eventually.

Sorry I know. Surprised your first to catch that slip up. I will say with the wide tires my car regularly gets confused with zl1

Thank you. I love it. It is definitely sexy. Thanks I’ll let you know if I do.

Yea I’m learning it’s the ss1 grill. The ss2 has the colored half rings. Sorry for error. I’ll add a annotation this weekend to correct video.

No worries. I just picked up a 2018 ZL1 myself! These are some fun cars!

Oh wow. Congrats man. What color you go with? Manual or auto? Still haven’t driven the zl1. I bet it’s fun as hell.

Yes it is noticeably faster. Probably due to camaros additional 600 plus lbs. I just seem to connect with this car better.

With the planned tune headers and e85 I’ll make up difference easy.

Me too and that was a huge reason not mentioned. Nice to have son and wife riding with you same time.

The space in the back seats is ok for small children. There is not a lot of space back there. I also have a 2015 z51 and a 2017 Z06. I am thinking to trade in or sell the Z51 and get a Camaro, but the space in the back is just too tight. I think the same as you guys. It would be great to take the wife and kids, but can’t do in the corvette. Camaro is just a beautiful and aggressive looking ride. Sweet.

Omg. Lol. That’s awesome!!!! That’s about it. Same concept. Think she nailed it 👍👍

Was told there was additional oil cooler and I thought trans cooler. I’ll do more research. If your right I’m definetly adding a mishimoto oil cooler. I’m in houston and temps get really hot plus I plan to put her on a track very soon.

Olcs is right there is an additional oil cooler for the engine a transmission cooler in addition to the normal one and a rear differential cooler

Not really honestly the money saved maybe 150 month on payments. Wasn’t the case with me. Plus if you watch my channel I spend way more than that monthly fixing up and modding the camaro. I challenge you to drive a stingray z51. Then test drive a camaro SS 1LE. You will see exactly what I am saying. You will enjoy driving the camaro more.... before you insist this has anything to do with money do a test drive. I never drove the stingray at all. 3 years owning I put 11k on vehicle. Now the c6 z06 I had before it I absolutely loved. Ask anyone that has owned a c6 and a c7. Chevy missed the mark with the last corvette...

But it was excuse I gave the wife to buy it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@OnlinecarshowNet1 I drove the Z06 and an SS. The Z06 is hands down more fund, but also 150 more horsepower. The camaro seems to be more rounded for cost of ownership.

That at it’s more of a drivers car. I just feel more comfortable. I think a lot has to do with the skinnier tires on stingray compared to c6z I had before. And the camaro has wider tiers as well. Helps to keep more planted and less nervous.

Tons of Corvette owners take their cars on long trips. Its called enjoying your car.

He doesn't like the corvette get over it. The camaro much meaner looking too. Corvette for retired men and lawyers

Thanks man. Not my best video. Hard to explain it. It’s just more of a drivers car. 👍

My welcome?

Sorry man. Was an old one for my channel. Hopefully newer videos much better. Let me know... 👍🙏

Love your way of seeing it. 😬😬😬 yea I love it. Louder meaner and fun to drive. I’m happy and that’s what’s matters. 😬

Kelli Wildman a post like that should carry an explanation. I guess I’m stupid.

I love the red personally. Sorry. I do like the garnet red too. Actually all the camaro colors are pretty good. Im not big on yellow is all.

OnlineCarShow to each his own sir lol, as long as you like it that's all that matters

I love that phrase. Yes sir. Yea wife chose it. She’s happy I’m happy. Lol. I’m usually a black car guy. Had 4 black sports cars. :)
