Vehicle Description
How about an ultra-clean 2015 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS 1LE
Supercharged with just over 50K miles on the clock? Loaded with
options, a great color combination, and a killer look that draws
stares everywhere it goes? And how about the performance of an
asphalt-pounding, Supercharged 6.2L liter V8 LS3 married to a
quick-shifting 6-speed manual that makes this a car an absolute
blast to drive? This modern muscle car Camaro is loaded to the
gills with it all - style, power, performance, and a particular 'je
ne sais quoi' that only modern Supercharged American sports cars
possess.
The color is called Ashen Gray Metallic, and it's the kind of shade
that people will stop you on the street to talk about. It's simply
gorgeous, punctuated further by the Transformers-esque carbon fiber
hood, flashy red wheels, and black accents scattered about the
exterior. The 2SS/RS package is the best of both worlds for this V8
Camaro, with aggressive curb appeal that makes it look like it's
breaking the speed limit even when it's parked. They did a great
job revising the retro-looking F-body for these 5th generation
line, and it keeps its chiseled good looks without looking dated.
Really, could you have guessed that this slick design is now 8
years old? Add in killer styling cues like the revised front fascia
and aggressive lower grille up front, the chin spoiler, beefy hood
with the big scoop, and the blacked-out rear spoiler and lower
panel out back, and there's just no question what kind of car this
is. Obviously with so few miles on the clock it still looks
superclean, with only a couple minor nicks up front and light
scratches/swirls acquired from car washes serving as evidence that
it's been driven at all, but it's quite clear that someone really
cherished this car since new. The RS package gives the car upgraded
HID and LED lamps fore and aft, not to mention the quad-exhaust tip
set-up that pokes out in the back. Other than the giant hood,
there's not a ton of performance advertising that goes with the car
(all the SS/RS badging has been deleted), certainly nothing that
gives away the organized violence of the supercharger under the
hood. That's exactly how we like it though, as it provides the
prime opportunity to shame any pesky Mustangs that foolishly want a
taste of GM excellence delivered to them.
The interior was likewise redesigned and upgraded for more power
and speed in this 5th generation of Camaros, starting with deeply
bolstered leather bucket seats with perforated inserts that grab
you like Velcro. SS embroidery on the headrests makes this one
really stand out, just in case nobody noticed the bodywork or the
exhaust note, and there's a seriously beefy leather-wrapped
steering wheel with proper thumb notches at 10 and 2. Pronounced
white stitching throughout the upholstery (including the dash)
lends it a racy look, too, and you'll note there are throwback
design cues everywhere, including auxiliary gauges down on the
center console. Of course, it's still plenty comfortable to drive
and everything was standard on Chevy's top-of-the-line F-body,
including A/C, heated seats, cruise control, power windows, locks,
seats, and mirrors, and a pretty impressive premium audio system
with touch screen and navigation just to name a few. No, you won't
feel like this is some bare-bones race car, it's loaded like a
Lexus. There's even a reasonable back seat and even the trunk
offers proper storage for those longer Power Tours.
At its heart is a 6.2 liter supercharged LS3 V8, which is descended
from the famous LS1. Virtually bulletproof and designed to lap the
track for hours on end, it's seriously over-built in all the right
ways. Matthew Smith in York, SC did the work, adding an Edelbrock
E-Force Supercharger and Stage 3 ProTuner Kit in July of 2022,
allowing the all-aluminum block to meet its full potential with a
Dyno test of 518HPp to the rear wheels. Nail the loud pedal at any
speed and the LS3 V8 lunges forward like it's hungry, with a soft
supercharger whine coming from up front and a baritone bellow from
the oversized pipes out back. The only transmission you want with
this kind of power is a Tremec 6-speed manual (which has been
upgraded with a SPEC Stage 2 clutch) and the car will pull well
over 100 MPH with two-three gears to spare (depending on how long
you can withstand the redline), which should give you some idea of
just how fast this insane Camaro really is. The SS 1LE Performance
Package includes a suspension and handling package that was
designed with the track in mind, so you get a fully independent
setup fore and aft with a lowered ride height, stiffer springs and
shocks, and an added shock-tower brace in the engine bay that helps
stiffen the car in the corners. Massive Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes
with drilled and slotted rotors are part of the package, which
provide fade-free performance lap after lap, and the dark red
20-inch SS aluminum wheels wear giant 285/35/20 front and 305/35/20
rear BFGoodrich radials that are barely broken in.
A ton of bang for the buck, a reasonable choice for the person who
wants performance and style, and a classic muscle car look - all in
one fantastic package. Call today!
