    The first salvo in the current affordable-pony-cars-you-can-track wars was fired by Ford, with the launch of the 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. For little more than the price of a loaded Mustang GT, you could buy a car already set up for track driving, that didn’t punish you on there way there and back. Now comes Chevy’s reply to the Boss 302 Mustang, in the form of the 2013 Camaro 1LE. Named for a car originally built for SCCA showroom stock racing in the 1980s, the new Camaro 1LE borrows parts from its faster brother, the supercharged Camaro ZL1, while keeping a close eye on the bottom...
