It’s possible - I didn’t explore but I thought I heard a faint “zipadee doo dah” in the background
You must go and explore and report back.

On a completely unrelated note, do you have a new Camaro with the 1LE package? The V6 with the 1LE is on my short list for my next car.

Good call! I just need to remember where this island was :hilarious:

Nice! So mine is a 2014 2SS 1LE with RS. I've been keeping up to date with the newer ones and MotorTrend can't stop singing its praises. From what I've heard, a 2016+ Camaro SS is more composed than a previous gen SS 1LE, but I don't know about the V6 version. It's still a solid car and looks great though. I would strongly recommend saving for a new SS if you can. Also that 8 speed automatic is a beast. My dad has it in his supercharged C7 Z51. The 1LE is only available in manual, so just a thought if you can't decide on the transmission.

I am trying to find something that straddles the line of performance and practical. I want fun to drive, decent gas mileage, not too expensive to maintain and 4 seats.

The V6 1LE seemed to fit that bill. The biggest con was it is currently only available with the 2LS option group (that might have changed) which added stuff I did not really need or want and a few grand to the price making it approach SS pricing. While I would like an SS, I have a feeling it will push the needle a little too far from the practical side

I would prefer an automatic, but manual seems to be the only option for most of the cars I am looking at.

I hear you loud and clear. I've had my car for 4 years, it's been my DD and I absolutely love it. I still get looks and every once in awhile someone will try to talk to me about it. There are cons like you stated such as the 16-17 mpg and tight suspension but I don't see myself driving a non high performance vehicle. From my personal experience, I would prefer a sports car on the sportier side then a hybrid of both with "performance but not too much performance in favor of practicality".

My personal taste relies heavily on how good that LS3 sounds at WOT. The LT1 sounds like a lion on steroids, I love it. A 1LE is solid and tons of fun and would definitely achieve what you are looking for. I'm concerned you might get a V6 and wish you got the SS (I was like that for a few years before I got my 1LE)

Of course everyone's situation is different. I got the car when I didn't care to have a relationship (some girls really don't like power.. who knew? :p), no travel plans, no party attitude, and certainly no dreams of children in the near future.

My last sports car was a 99 Firebird with the V6. Part of me did want the V8, but the V6 was a lot of fun. Great power, great on gas, but what I remember most about that car was the handling. Seems like the harder I pushed, the more it stuck.

The plan was to trade it in on a 2002 WS-6 Ram Air, but kid number 3 came along in 2001 and the Trans Am changed into a mini-van.

That kid will be a senior in high school next year and daddy is eager to start his mid-life crisis.

lol - Those were fun. I had a 02 Camaro V6, then upgraded to a semi-beat up 02 WS6. Had to sacrifice everything else that cost money like friends and travel but still they were alot cheaper back then, than they are now. Those fbody's were notorious for bad fuel pumps and window motors / regulators. Also the weak rear-ends made sure that every WOT you had also made you cringe in fear.

You deserve an SS. You've done your duties as a responsible parent. When you get your sports car just be sure to keep the keys away from the kids :hilarious:
