Default 2014 Camaro 1LE and ZL1 Coupe and Convertible

Don't know what they are thinking keeping the ZL1 front the same? 1LE looks sick. Although why no 1LE badge? Either way I'm just excited for the Z28 & then ill wait until the 6th gens!



Here's a first look at the 2014 ZL1 (coupe and convertible), as well as the 1LE.

The 1LE gets the facelifted SS RS front and rear bumpers, while also receiving the new hood vents and maintaining the all-black hood look. These photos also show the new 1LE trunk spoiler, which looks to be shared with the ZL1.

The ZL1 will retain its front fascia design, while incorporating the new facelifted rear design.

Hmmm i'm having mixed feelings about the new style after these pictures, I don't blame them for not changing the ZL1 that front end is sweet !

I think it looks so much better. Still a tank though.

That 1LE looks great to me. I'd want it in blue though.

Since the 6th Gen was mentioned, I wonder how cheap these 5th Gens will be if the 6th Gen ends up being a significant upgrade over this current model (current C6 Vettes are selling for under $40K with the C7 coming soon).

I think the new front and rear look excellent. A vast improvement, especially the rear with the large black section to break it up some

I really like the new front except on the V6 model looks very plain but I am also glad they kept the ZL1 front the same since it looks so good as it is.

I like the looks of both the ZL1 and 1LE. GM is doing a good job with the Camaro, steadly refining it and updating it.

I think GM needs to come up with a new RPO code for the high performance models. The ZL1 was the sixties and 1LE was the late 3rd gens and 4th gens. The Z28 code should come back since that's what put the Camaro on the map IMO. Just my thoughts, either way they are nice looking cars.

According to Chevy, the ZL1 front was not changed because it has specific aero designs for high speed that were deemed to expensive to incorporate into the new front. Especially with low production numbers and a short model window.

Harsh criticism from a classy Trans Am owner.

You guys entertain me. ColeWS6, I felt was a bit overly critical, so I jokingly called him a classy TA owner. You guys may want to look at my sig, I have owned a Formula Firebird (along with 4 other f-bodies), 4 Mustangs, 3 GTOs and this is my second Corvette. I am member 25 on here, so I've been around awhile. You guys need thicker skin, LOL.

Well, I personally just slum around town in my old fashion F-body to throw beady-eyed Corvette owners of the scent of my beautiful double wide trailer.
