Correct, that's what I meant but worded it wrong.

I'm seeing alot of people saying Michelin PSS tires. Am I being too pessimistic about assuming they will go with Goodyears? Have we heard any rumors on the tire front for the performance variants of the Camaros?

Becky I might be bombarding you to get an order in on one of these as soon as they begin to take orders. Might do the fly in drive home trip to visit several of our friends in the Detroit area. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS CAR!!!

(considering a regular manual SS can do a 1.00/104/4.0/12.4 with narrower run flats, and assuming the 1LE will have stickier, wider tires, and hopefully a gear swap, I think my guesses are spot on.)

Would like to the the 1LE become it's own model, not just an option package.

I like this setup except the black hood. And the 5th gen black hood was a break from tradition, not the tradition so I think it will go back. I don't think the black matte hood on this body style compliments the lines like the 5th gen did.

What's all of the love for the e-diff? Serious question. The BMW e-diff is crap compared to a mechanical diff so I'm curious why it's better than a good old posi setup.

Stingray's electronic differential is magic. Can't say about BMW...honestly, I'd like to see the Z/28's helical differential....

As stated by Mr. Wyndham, the ediff used in the Stingray and Z06 Corvettes is very, very good. But this is an expensive diff. I really do not see this going to the 1LE but I do see it as a possibility for ZL1 / Z28.

[Bhobbs]

I'm curious when the dry sump system may be needed. I know the ZL1 doesn't have it, but the Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and Z/28 got it. I believe the Z51 has it as well. Is there a certain g force threshold before the wet sump system isn't acceptable?

To MRC, or not to MRC. That is the question.

I'm guessing the package price will be $4,500 not including the MRC or A8 option.

I wish the spoiler would be something like the 370Z NISMO

That looks like a taller version of the wing used on the SS. I prefer integrated/dovetail designs.
