5 October 2016 Newsletter Camaro 1LE Beats the 5th Gen Z/28 at Laguna Seca While being tested by Motor Trend at Laguna Seca, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE SS turned a quicker lap than the 2015 Camaro Z/28 a track-focused, stripped down muscle car that had more power and cost some $30,000 more than the new 1LE. The crew at Motor Trend is currently working on their 2016 Best Driver s Car proceedings at Laguna Seca and the most surprising vehicle on hand might be the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE SS. MT hasn t issued the results of their Best Driver s Car, but they have posted videos for eight of the contenders and at the end of those videos, we see the cars Laguna Seca lap times with Randy Pobst at the wheel. The 2017 Camaro 1LE SS hasn t posted the best time, but it posted a better lap time than the 2015 Camaro Z/28 which won the 2014 Motor Trend Best Driver s Car competition while also beating the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and nearly tying the BMW M4 GTS. Mind you, we are not talking about the supercharged Camaro ZL1, - we are talking about the 455 horsepower Camaro SS with the optional 1LE handling package. 6g Camaro 1LE Bests 5g Z28 at Laguna Seca Each year, Motor Trend takes a small group of high performance cars to Laguna Seca for their Best Driver s Car competition and included in this year s challenge is the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE. After the new 1LE turned an impressive lap time in the Car & Driver Lightning Lap trial at VIR, it comes as no surprise that the factory modified Camaro SS laid down such an impressive performance with Motor Trend, but it comes as a surprise that the new Camaro 1LE was quicker around Laguna Seca than the 2015 Camaro Z/28. Pobst ran a lap time of 1:37.78 with the 2017 Camaro SS 1LE while running only a 1:37.82 with the 5th gen Camaro Z/28. It is a close race, but the far less expensive and less powerful Camaro 1LE got around Laguna Seca quicker than the 2015 Camaro Z/28.

6 October 2016 Newsletter 6 For a quick refresher, the 2015 Camaro Z/28 was a street legal race car, coming without features like sound insulation, carpet lining and air condition, and coming with features like a 505hp LS7 engine, carbon ceramic brakes, a track-tuned suspension and lightweight wheels wrapped in the stickiest tires possible. The Camaro Z/28 was the lightest of the 5th gen V8-powered Camaros and based on lap times for around the world, the 2015 Z/28 was the most road course capable muscle car of all time. The 2017 Camaro SS 1LE just turned a quicker time at Laguna Seca than the 2015 Camaro Z/28. The $45,000 volume model with a handling package outran the $75,000 track-focused at one of America s most infamous tracks while being piloted by the same professional racer. The Camaro 1LE Could Win Against Far More Expensive Vehicles Back in the 2014 Best Driver s Car competition, Randy Pobst managed a best lap time of 1:37.82 with the 2015 Camaro Z/28. That wasn t the quickest lap that year, but when combined with the rest of the metrics for the competition the 5th gen Camaro Z/28 was named the Best Driver s Car for Looking for something to do on Saturday October 8 th?
