2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE is back and looking for a track

Chevrolet announces plans to return the 1LE performance package to the Camaro lineup for 2017 offering suspension, cooling and styling upgrades. However, while previous 1LE iterations were exclusive to the V-8 model, the sixth-generation model will also offer a 1LE package for the V-6.
