2017 Camaro SS 1LE
Track-ready package for everyone's favorite mullet-mobile. Recaros, 6 piston Brembos, 305 section rear tires. I'm torn on the styling. Also, visibility sucks.

Did the usual Sunday car dealer tour = no salesmen bothering you. ...checked out several GM dealers and the camaros they had out. All of them were autos ...quite simply sad to see not one manual .

After the oil temperature was good on the final stretch, gave it near full throttle from 20km/hr. There are so many gears there really isn't any build up to redline. The hologram/artist description on the windshield made me a bit cross-eyed so would probably opt out of that feature. Also wasn't sure if the music I listen to matches the interior surround neon lights. Pretty good choice to save $25,000. |

Since I'm number 15 on the list for an M2 (ETA 3 years), I'm thinking I can just get the 1LE and sell it when the M2 is ready. Or keep it if I fall in love. I like the stance.

Nice car but your last remark is an understatement and interior quality is utter shit. For track exclusively it wouldn't matter though.

It was never meant to compete with the full leather M4 interior, and unfortunately there's not much one can do about the visibility, other than purchasing one of these advanced blind spot systems.. |

Test drove a 6MT one of these. Very tempting. I couldnt knock it anywhere, interior felt better than any F series car as well.

Wow, it looks like they changed some things in the 2017 that I really hate about the 2015 SS.
Cup holders are farther over, meaning you might actually be able to change gears with a stored drink. They also appear to have dropped the lower console dials which were basically unreadable from the driver seat (especially oil pressure). I imagine visibility is still horrible. Also curious if those seats have adjustable bolsters? (They don't in the 2015?) The SS performance exhaust sounds awesome...for short periods. I wouldn't really want to daily with it, but thats subjective. |

I have been eagerly awaiting both releases since announced. Both cars look to be fun street/track vehicles.
I have owned many performance cars (VW's, S4's, SRT8, P 944t, etc) including several V8 Camaros (85' z28, 90' 1Le Z28, 94' Z28, 01' SS and 10' SS) and BMW's (2 E46 ///M3's 03.5' & 05', 135i, 330xi). Just about all were modified above stock form, some very modified. The obvious difference with the two brands is the quality of materials. The GM products are blunt objects as the germen products are solid, well engineered vehicles. A few things to consider here are price, the 1LE will likely be about $10k less. Power, the 1LE will likely be tangibly faster. Handling, might be a wash. It really comes down to what is more important to you. To me the Camaro is pretty bad ass, however it might be priced a little high. I know the price has not been released but expect to pay an MSRP of $42-43k. The M2 will likely simply not be fast enough to keep me interested and the fangs are just too overdone. Honestly with the release for the ZL1 (also a 2017 model), the pricing might be more line with the M2 and will likely crush just about all of it's competition. For me the two GM offerings are good enough for me to stay American for my next purchase.. Flame suit on...

We will see... If it is near 60, it can still be cross shopped with a low to mid 50k car... This thread is comparing two cars that will have a similar delta...
