The 2023 Chevy Camaro introduces the eighth model year for the latest sixth-generation sports car, debuting a few changes and updates over the previous 2022 model year. Now, GM Authority has learned that the 2023 Chevy Camaro’s SS 1LE Track Package is currently under constraint, with the constraint not expected to lift until October.
According to GM Authority sources, availability for the 2023 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE Track Package is now limited to 20 percent of its usual build rate, which is the result of a supplier issue. However, starting in October, the constraint is expected to lift, making the package more widely available to order.
For those readers who may be unaware, the SS 1 LE Track Performance Package for the 2023 Chevy Camaro is tagged with RPO code A1Y, and adds a range of go-faster goodies, including (relevant RPO code listed in parentheses):
- Electronic limited slip differential (G96)
- Dual-mode performance exhaust (NPP)
- Magnetic Ride Control (F55)
- Performance suspension (FE4)
- Black front splitter (FTJ)
- Satin Black hood wrap (DSM)
- Satin Black rear blade spoiler (D5S)
- 285/30R20 front, 305/30R20 rear, blackwall, summer-only tires (R0G)
- 20-inch Satin Graphite forged aluminum wheels (RSK)
- Recaro performance front bucket seats (AQJ)
- Sueded-wrapped, flat-bottom steering wheel (N26)
- Sueded-wrapped shift knob (KS9)
- Brembo Red, 6-piston front monobloc calipers, 4-piston rear calipers, 2-piece rotors, performance, 4-wheel antilock, 4-wheel disc brakes (J6M)
The SS 1LE Track Package is normally offered as optional for 2023 Chevy Camaro 1SS and 2SS trim levels, and was priced at $7,000 for the 2022 Chevy Camaro. To note, the J6M Brembo Red brakes are included for all states except California and Washington, with models sold in these two states including the Performance copper-free brake system (RPO code BCD) instead. Also of note, models equipped with the MX0 GM 10-speed automatic transmission also get the 2.85 rear axle ratio (RPO code HRD).
As a reminder, the chevy Camaro is offered with four engine options, including the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 gasoline engine, and the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine. Under the skin is the GM Alpha platform. Production takes place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

When is the 2023 Camaro Configurator going live on the website? Also the 2023 Z06 isn’t live either. Both cars are supposedly available for summer 2023. Summer is almost over, someone better relay that to Mary.
The 2022 configurator went live in September last year. A good month plus after production of the 22’s started.
Mary’s too busy peddaling GM’s new Goldilocks EV model
Chevy is Building It Back Better Baby 😎😎🤣😂✌🏽
Friend of mine’s 23 vette build was supposed to start Monday, red napa interior and red painted calipers on restraint. Wanted him to go to tan or natural interior. He did change to black leather with with red trim but said he would wait. Car exterior is red mist. How in the world do you run out of red painted calipers? Talk about supplier issues. What a joke.
They have more than supplier issues!
My ‘22 SS convertible was built the week of Memorial Day. The update the dealer got last week was it’s still sitting in Lansing! 11 weeks!
I’ve emailed Mrs. Barra twice, no response from her, but did get one from a “GM Executive Liaison” named Michael stating my car had been expedited to Logistics 3 weeks ago. Still no sign of it.
I hope they get their act together soon, before financing rates go up for the third time since it was built!
After waiting nearly a year on a c8 order, summer approaching ,I thought I’d switch to a 1le order..summer almost gone I found a ’18 1le with bton 321 verified miles. Cost a little more, but at least I’m not second in line for some EV that I don’t want, Mary.
Including the 11+ weeks my built car has been sitting in Lansing, it has been 384 days, as of today, since I ordered my car.
New Mustang is scheduled to be introduced in a little over 3 weeks, maybe I should order one of those, might get here before the Camaro!
Our ’22 2SS was built the first week of June & we lucked out that it showed up on the trailer while I was actually at the dealer asking questions Aug 8th. Some seem to arrive faster than others, but have heard couple of online dealers admit it seems to be a crap shoot.
cee, you were lucky. Did you order from a larger dealer?
i think my issue is i ordered from a local dealer and not the “big city” dealer two hours away. The larger dealers seem to get more allocations and don’t seem to have any issues getting cars delivered.
I get why they do the allocation, but if someone walks into their local dealer and makes a deposit and places an order, that car should go to the front of the queue ahead of other dealer stock orders. Especially when the “big city” dealers in my state were charging $2500 to $5000 over MSRP!
Anybody know if they will bring the Camaro back as an EV at some point! I know it’s not what we want, but an EV Camaro is better than none! Have you seen (and heard) the EV Charger by Dodge due in 2024?
Your who they want!!! Just go with it! So sad…

That 2024 EV Dodge Charger is a FAKE muscle car.. who would want an electric car that makes fake gasoline engine noise? really? It serves no purpose.. everybody knows its FAKE! So something goes wrong with the fake sound speaker and you go to a mechanic to get it fixed and it costs you $1500…who would pay to have fake noise? Crazy bunch of crap just to get your money.
I dreamed of owning a Camaro since I used to doodle them won my paper while in grade school, so when I finally got my 50th anniversary 2017 2SS red, I was over the moon. Of course, as luck always seems to have it for me, this is the last of its kind. I understand why we need to abandon fossil fuels, but timing is so cruel. They should retire the nameplate, not transfer it to an EV, imho.
The manufacturers are pushing their EV agenda for two major reasons: drastically lower manufacturing costs and to support their investment in autonomous vehicles. The lower end of the market will be displaced by ride sharing, and those that can afford to buy will have significantly less choice and much higher purchase costs.
While those are 2 important factors, it would be shortsighted to downplay or ignore the overwhelming reasons for the changes:
1) Oil is a finite resource and even when you consider man made fuels, they do destroy the environment. This is scientific fact. Smart companies are making plans to transition to electric transportation, which poses its own problems with obtaining of resources and disposal of chemicals, but these are more manageable and less ominous that global warming affects on the food supply, health, etc.
2) The big 3 car companies have been forced into EV production because of the pressure put on them from the focus of science and the media on global warming and the steep rise of companies like Tesla, Rivian and other competitors who now have a huge jump on them in the EV space. As fuel prices have risen, more and more customers are considering EV’s as relief. Couple this with the ever increasing population of people who are practicing environmental responsibility, then they have no choice.
If I were heading these company’s I would do the same thing, but I would keep both the Camaro and Corvette as signature vehicles with traditional fuel engines. Position them as the high end sports car line and get rid of all the diminutive 4 and 6 cylinder engines. These would be the performance class vehicles and would apologetically contain 8 cylinder engines (at least) and compete with the higher end vehicles offered by McClaren, Porsche, Audi, etc.
Dodge is doing away with with their gas powered vehicles as well, and they are selling like crazy, so you know they are no doing this without serious consideration to the bottom line. I do not own an EV, but I do support their development and that they should exist beside traditional fuel vehicles, but I also think that completely replacing all fuel vehicles is a mistake, at least for right now.
And the source of energy to support all these batteries will come from where? Will it be green and affordable? Also, the environmental impact of raw material sourcing should not be downplayed. Not to mention the significant supply chain issues, since most of the minerals used in battery manufacturing are sourced in hostile foreign countries. It would be short sighted to minimize these issues surrounding a wholesale conversion to EV platforms. No denying that environmental issues are of utmost importance!
I agree and noted the resource concerns in my reply. To be clear, there is no scenario where we do not incur enormous costs and problems. Batteries require lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, manganese, etc, many of which are difficult to mine and dangerous to dispose of. But when you consider the two issues and the impacts of both global warming and resource/waste management, the former is of much higher immediate concern and danger. We can figure out ways to manage chemicals if properly motivated. We can develop industries to manage that (in progress), but a runaway greenhouse problem is global and can easily reach the point where man has no control, thus we need to do whatever we can to address that, especially since we’ve had our heads in the sand on this issue for decades.
With all of that said, there is no scenario where I would accept a Camaro nameplate on an EV or a 4-door sedan! Hard stop for me! 🙂
LOL
There are other options besides going all electric that car companies should consider… alternative fuels to power your tried and true internal combustion engine…biofuels.. hydrogen power (both liquid and gas) ..natural gas to name a few….I say this because aircraft engine manufactures are currently experimenting with these types of fuels to power commercial and military jet aircraft which currently use fossil based fuels as well. These alternative fuels reduce and or eliminate a carbon emissions foot print from the environment. I for one would like to keep the explosive power and sound of a V8 engine. the cost of these types of fuel would eventually fall to low levels as users increase, also the infrastructure for liquid fuels are already in place and would probably need small modifications based on the fuels being supplied.
The benefit of biofuel is that it can be generated locally rather than imported and is a renewable resource. Unfortunately, in burning them they are as bad for the environment as standard oil/gas. Also note that airplanes, freight locomotives and ships will always run on fuel because of the enormous amount of energy required. An electric engine on an airplane would likely have enough power to taxi down the runway and that’s it!
There is currently a version of an all electric aircraft that will have a limited flight range ability of about 440 nautical miles, another has a 600 nautical mile range but there are none that can fly internationally. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) synthetic blends of Biofuel does not make as great a carbon foot print on the environment, its considerably reduced emissions are far better than the current fossil fuels used today. These can be used to power automotive internal combustion engines as well, some diesel engines are already using them. Electric engines for hauling cargo and industrial earth moving uses will never have the power of a fuel powered engine. The blend of (SAF) fuel just needs to be adjusted for use in current automobile engine designs. You can keep your V8 with all its power and sound, we don’t have to go all electric.
I think we can agree that the Camaro is worth saving. Will it still be available, affordable, and interesting enough to want to drive and own? Hope that is so. In the interim, it is encouraging to see that Ford sees value in bringing the Mustang S650 to market, in both coupe and convertible models.
That’s a nice option package on a car that GM is apparently giving up on… Makes we wonder if things get better that the Camaro would survive at least I hope fingers crossed. But with Dodge going full EV only the mustang and Camaro will offer V8 power I always wanted a Camaro… And now if you try to buy one in the future the price will be inflated if they did not continue the Camaro.
Not sure if you’ve seen this, but just yesterday (08/25/22) California issued a ban of all new gasoline powered cars beginning in 2035! This is an unmistakable stake in the ground. CA has a lot of unique laws, but think about if (when) this spreads across the nation. Better to get accustomed to this than fight it like proponents of steam locomotives did when diesel came along!
Like Chevy Man said, the value of our vehicles will rise as they become collectors items.
I owned a 2002 Z28 and loved it wish I still had it…but I always wanted a new Camaro… I am 43 was born in the wrong generation… EV cars kind of scare me because they are so expensive to buy and I hope the batteries can at least give me a 400+ mile range like my 2010 equinox LTZ V6 until then I will keep my car. Oh and if I do go EV it will be a GM product.
We;; the fact is that if you are ever going to own a Camaro, time is running out, so you may want to seriously take the leap. I wanted one my entire life and when my SUV gave out, I made every excuse why I needed to buy another SUV, but ultimately my family said get it, you have earned it, so I took the leap, which was the best decision ever! I ultimately purchased a new SUV as well, so it was a win-win. I will eventually get an EV, but I will not until I am much more comfortable with the stability of the batteries (they still explode), the costs of battery replacement (this is currently glossed over, but can costs many thousands of dollars) and the ability to recharge is much better, as I do not want to have to stop, find a charger, wait for a long period of time before resuming my long trip.
Its still a little too early to feel comfortable giving up the conveniences that come with gasoline.
Emery my thoughts exactly… The EV technology has to be available to the working man and charging stations need to keep popping up more also the range my be more then 300 miles that’s not enough to go on long trip without stopping. I will buy an EV eventually when they are more advanced… A history lesson the first cars where highly unrelatable, you needed to hand crank the engine to start it, you couldn’t go very far because of unpaved roads, tires where like bicycle tires we have come a long way.
