Camaros look best in black. The Stingray looks best in white, actually. Possibly the only car I've ever felt that way. Problem is, if you're sitting in a black Camaro and a white Stingray drives by, you can't see it. Or anything. The damn windows are too small to see out of. A car to be seen in, not drive.

Everything else about the car is rad though. A performance bargain for sure
Factory hood underneath is painted.

No, but you can just peel the black wrap off.

It can be. They paint all the cars on the same line, apply the hood wrap to the 1LEs later.

If I ever bought one, I would do that the instant I got home from the dealer. Pull it straight into the garage, pull out the heat gun, and get to work.

I am going to get back in to fun car this year and just curious.
Didn't try v6. The way I see it you're going to want more power later down the road so get the v8

Wow congrats!! Looks pretty awesome - do these sit lower than the standard SS? I saw one of those and it had the 4wd effect a bit. Can't beat the 1LE for performance/$, and it was really nice inside. The only caveat (and probably reason I'm not driving one vs my FR-S) is the interior feels super tight. I mean it's a much bigger car than the 86, but I felt much more cramped sitting in an SS - my head just about touched the roof and I just felt generally claustrophobic. Do you find this when going between your 86 and the 1LE?

I haven't noticed a stance difference yet. I'll park next to ss and get back to you on that . The cabin is definitely a little tighter then frs . I don't notice the switch to much small guy fit in both comfortably .

Hard to compare both cars . The raw v8 power from ss is awesome though . One things for sure the handling of 1le is much smother and tighter then frs.
