Default my 14 1Le vs 13 5.0 trakpak. FINALLY

I finally went ahead and raced my buddy in his 2013 5.0 with trakpak today. He has longtubes with Borla Atak w/o cats. It has a tuned but I don't know what kind. We decided to go from a dig. I honked 3x and we were dead lock in, both of us trying to find traction. I quick shift to 2nd and he pulled me 1/2 a car which we were stuck at all the way through 4th gear. I lost but I was surprised it was that close. The second race started the same way, both fighting for traction but when I grabbed 2nd the rearend tried to come to the front. I managed to straighten it up but he had me by a full car all the way through. They were two damn good races. I'll try him again when I get my exhaust and tune. What u guys think?

With exhaust (and get a tune, I need one too) it'll be a drivers race. From what I've seen anyways...

Sounds about right. Stock for stock the 1le should win. A tune makes a world of difference on a 5.0. They're sluggish without a tune IMO

Good runs! If he was just bama tuned explains why it was so close. Get a AED tune on the 5.0 would of made it alot worse for you.

It should have been much worse for you, but anything happens on the street.

Sure they are slow, but more of a drivers race with a 5th gen.. if either has the edge it is not the Camaro.

Neither car is slow and it is most definitely a drivers race with a competent driver behind each wheel. I've never seen a better illustration than this video

Good run......... But you're lookin in the wrong place if you want the car to be quicker. leave the tune and the exhaust alone for now.

That's a SS and not a 1le too. A 1le would do even better.

A stock 1LE can't outrun a stock 5.0? Ok.

Stock 1LE could manhandle a stock 5.0. Throw some mods on it too and see what happens.

5.bro gang unite!

How much does the 1le option add to the price of an SS?

Edit: nevermind, $3500
