Looks like a pretty competent package, and that guy can DRIVE! Not bad for 4000 lbs, I thought.

What are you guys running for lap times at VIR? What cars, what mods? I wonder how competetive the 1LE will be in SCCA, CMC, etc?

Discuss. This may be my next track day car, once they're used and affordable . . .

I find it hard to believe that the 1LE ran that quick compared to these cars.

Far more importantly, the official time for the Camaro 1LE is 4.46 seconds quicker around VIR than the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca – the $49k muscle car at which GM has taken aim with the new Camaro 1LE.

The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE’s time around VIR of 2:58.34 is also better than the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 (2:58.48), the 2009 Audi R8 V10 (2:59.50) and the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (3:04.20). In the list of 22 vehicles that turned in quicker laps than the 2013 Camaro 1LE are some incredible sports cars including the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 (2:58.00), the Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2:54.60), the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (2:53.90), the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR (2:48.60) and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 – which turned in a track record time of 2:45.63.
