2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE is a good-lookin' track beast

It comes with your choice of a V6 or V8 engine, and boy does it look sweet.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Regardless of powertrain, the 1LE puts power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
