Simple math from my point of view, Personally the way I would want a 1SS optioned out;
Base 37,600
Mag Ride 1,700
Dual Mode 900
Ft Fascia 610
Blade Spoiler 690
MMR Rims 1400
Tires 1184
=$44,084 OR for $43900 I could get all of those in a 1LE package and have the better seats, the suede shifter and steering wheel, ELSD, 6 Piston Ft Brakes, HUD and the option to add PDR

Now to be fair I would have the factory set of SS rims/tires I could sell for maybe $1000 to $1500 +/- and I could get aftermarket front fascia and rear blade spoiler to save a little, but still when the difference is this close and you are getting the better brake package, ELSD, Seats, HUD, etc.

It's a hell of a value and I don't have to do any extra installation, no extra selling of take off parts and it's all warrantied.

Once I get it I will likely take it to the dragstrip, even though that's not it's intended use, and I would love to take it to a road course at some point, but I wouldn't be purchasing the car for that purpose, It would likely be my daily driver.
