1LE track packs confirmed for the 2017 Camaro

Chevrolet has announced the return of the Camaro coupé’s 1LE handling upgrade for 2017. In a major break with tradition, it'll be offered on V6-powered 1LT and 2LT variants as well as V8-equipped 1SS models.

Regardless of which engine is chosen, the 1LE specification includes oil, differential and transmission coolers, a six-speed manual gearbox with a shorter-throw shifter, a dual-mode exhaust, a three-piece rear spoiler and a satin black bonnet finish.
