Joined the 1LE V8 crew today
Just wanted to share my excitement with you guys. After seeing the leaked photos of the 2016 I myself was not personally sold it.
Took a trip down to my dealer and talked about trading my V6 for a V8. After some talking and negotiating I was able to order a 2015 1SS RS 1Le for $38,300. On my trade (by the time the vehicle is built and delivered I will be even on my trade so no negative equity). And oddly enough insurance is cheaper on the V8 Manual? Go figure haha. But I went with the NPP Dual Mode Exhaust as well. Will hopefully be posting pictures in about 6 - 8 weeks! |

Congrats! Weird about the insurance being less for the V8, I guess it makes some sense since the V8's are usually owned by older guys that can afford them.
Good choice going with the NPP, I love mine.

I didn't think they were accepting any more orders for 5th gens.

Changeover to 2016 on orders
I agree with yotaman96, timing is right in that iffy period. Last June I ordered a 2014 and the next day after that the dealer calls to say the car will be coming in as a 2015. Luckily changes were minor and did not affect my build order. Hopefully you will get your 2015 and not get the order changed to a 2016. You will love the car when it eventually arrives !! Now the wait starts

Weird, the sales manager called and verified they are still producing them. It better be a 15 :( haha.
But I will keep you guys updated if I hear anything back. I'm supposed to hear back this week when it's going to production. Crossing my fingers. |

It shouldn't be a 2016, no such thing as a 2016 1LE yet

The 2016 SS out-handles a 5th gen 1LE, I can't wait to see what a 6th gen 1LE will do.
I still wouldn't want to be a tester for the first model year of a new platform, I'll wait to hear about the reliability of the 6th gen after it's been out for awhile before I decide if I want one, because reliability was a big selling point for the 5th gen to me, I wanted something that I can beat the crap out of without worrying about it exploding.
