1LE on order? Congrats, but I think the Z28 made that car irrelevant. The boss as well, but at least we can always talk about "heritage!"

All I can say is I have never had my car on a road course and probably never will. The only time I would ever have the opportunity to race a 1LE is on the highway or at a dragstrip, both of which I will most likely win, unless the Camaro is pretty well modded.

You are posting in the wrong forum if all you think there is to racing is drag racing.
Bandwagon-er I like this because I do like all cars not just fords. When I buy I look for the best band for the buck and the 1LE is it right now . Its also why I had a EVO-8 before the mustang I like all kinds of cars and iam not afraid to try them .

If you prefer the looks of the new Camaro then by all means buy one. If you are buying one because bone stock it is just a hair faster, get ready for disappointment. Nobody goes to a track bone stock.

Your right no one goes to the track stock. Each car has it good points and it bad points and it up to the guy that working on the car to fix his weak spots and max his strong points. The most important thing is to have fun why doing it .

With the 1LE it going to be weight and more HP for the most part it looks like the handing part is done .

I would not buy a 1LE, liked the Zl1 for a few minutes, until the Z28 came out. I think I will stick with the Boss, but, if a Sunroof and Nav Z28 comes out and is $45K...
But, until then, I am more than satisfied with my GHIG302.

I don't like the looks of the SS ZL1 Z28 1LE and whatever the hell else they are called. Geez.
I kind of like the looks of the stripped down base V6 body though. Got some decent lines when to take all those fugly SS edges off the thing. It's like that ugly Monte Carlo SS trim all over again.

Why not tighten up the 5.0's suspension, better brakes, and wider tires? Or just hop on the motortrend flavor of the week

Yeah I'm kinda curious why he trolls around the boss forum? He has a 10 year old cobra? I don't care, but I barely have time to visit a forum on a car I do own.

I don't think so.....
price of Boss $45k - $50k
price of 1LE? $40k or so
price of Z28? $65k and more (I think dealers will be at $75k)

I think the Z28 will cause our Boss to go UP in value..
...it takes $65k++ car to beat our $45k car....
.......the Z28 was built to take on the Boss..
.........yes it'll be faster but at $65k++++

I think MANY Z28 will be bought out by "collectors" which won't bring to the track....

Bosses are not going up in value some local dealers still have 2012 Bosses on the lots. That's what dealers get for charging ADMs. I hope they take a huge hit on them

First off i like my mustang . I have had a set Koni and Steeda sport springs on my car with in the first month of picking the car up from the dealer (trying srping set-up #4 now ) and that was way back in AUG. of 2010 .

There's no trolling this time. It was simple comments.
And this 10yr old cobra will destroy that Boss. (that was trolling)

I took my Stock Boss to the track...it was good show room stock. I probably could have been happy leaving it stock. But it's in my nature to take something perfectly good and make it better.
