Camaro 1LE Versus Mustang GT350 – Chevrolet Says Bring It On Horse!

© Provided by Hotrod 2017 Camaro 1LE Lead Ok, so it’s no secret that the pony car wars just keep getting hotter and hotter with Chevrolet and Ford fighting for dominance on the track. To be honest we like it this way since the net result is that everyone ends up with faster, more capable, rides. It wasn’t long after Ford announced details on their new GT350 Mustang, obviously a shot across the bow of the new sixth-gen Camaro, before things heated up. Well, Chevrolet has fired back and they don’t seem too concerned that their new 1LE 2017 Camaro will best the new GT350 on the road course. As Al Oppenheiser, chief Camaro engineer, recently stated about the 1LE beating the GT350, “That’s obviously our intent. I have the answer, but I’ll let the rest of you decide how we did. Our goal is to up the game with our competitor, just like they upped the game with the GT350. Everyone had to expect we would punch back. I will tell you this car is three seconds faster than the previous 1LE.”

But, obviously, Ford came out with their GT350 and we changed our sights. We’re not worried,” remarked Oppenheiser.

We can only imagine how much hurt the Camaro will put on the Mustang if (when?) a Z/28 or ZL1 version hits the asphalt! Yep, these are great days to a Camaro fan.

Just a side note. With GM now starting to advertise the 50th anv 2017 Camaro, Being released some time this summer; I had thought for a second to wait and get the 50th Anv. version.
But I won't because:
1) they will probably ask like 3 grand more for it
2) I have seen pictures of it, only difference is the badging and hood decal as far as I can tell
3) Most importantly I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!

\Hi `Tadd, "No one is guaranteed a 2morrow, so we all must live our now's" That's the way the beach bum's were taught & raised
I'm sure from reading your past posts that you will soon be doing something to your S.S. that will define it as yours. The more I read about the new Camaro's, the more I want one...
