Dual zone climate Control
Homelink
auto dimming mirror
heated/cooled seats

All items that have some value for a daily driver since MOST people that buy a 1LE will not have it sit in the garage except for track days. 99% of the buyers will still use the car as a daily driver.

I want a great daily driver that is also track focused. And I can't get the eDiff and PDR and potentially the aux coolers stand alone. I can't afford a 1SS with 1LE and a 2SS. : )

I think 42 (wishful) to 45K for a 1LE.

Based on other opinions (yours included) that I trust more than my own, I must be way out in left field on this as far as pricing.

If you guys are right, the 6th Gen 1LE will be a GREAT bargain.

Man, I just look at the equipment list and I wonder how they can do it for under $46K.

I can't wait to see the pricing and see how full of crap I am on my estimate.

yeah, I get that its a track car that for most wont see the track, but then why buy it? that I don't get. you want the creature comforts, go 2ss. im sure a 2ss 1le would be nice, but that would be like settling for second place performance wise imo

For me, that's an easy answer: Because I want it

It's as simple as that. I've always wanted a 1LE ever since the 3rd gen but I wasn't about to purchase one without A/C and a radio. None of us need an SS either when a V6 will do for 99% of Camaro buyers but we opt for it anyway. Why? Because we want one

[LOBBS]

Short and simple. Take the cost GM pays their suppliers for the new 1LE pieces. Subtract the cost GM pays their suppliers for the SS parts that won't be needed on the 1LE. Double that amount and round it to an easily marketable number i.e. $XX00 or $XX95. That's how a ton of companies figure out pricing. I really have no doubt they can bring it in for less than $3000 in extra cost which would make it a $5000-6000 option.

So you're really looking at how much more does the 1LE part cost over the equivalent SS part it replaces. This is at GM's cost which is nowhere near the cost of the retail option for upgrading the SS after the fact. Keeping the package tightly confined in terms of add-ons helps as well. GM was still making plenty of profit offering the 1LE option on the 5th Gen at $3500 and they'll continue to do so with whatever the 6th Gen 1LE comes in at.

I like this kind of thinking. I think (HOPE) the 1LE option on the SS is about $5000, which would put it at about $42,500 or so...

LOL! Sold at 42,500. I hope you're right!

If you add up the base price of a 1SS with the 6 Piston brakes and MRC and guess for the other items and subtracting / adding for the semi upgrades....

Base 1SS: $37,295 (delivered)
MRC: $1,695
Brakes: $3,175
Suspension: $800 (guess)
Splitter: $550
Seats: $1,200
HUD: $250?
Partial Leather rear seats: $250
Wheels & Tires: $800 (more than an SS)
NPP: $895
Matte Hood, mirrors and spoiler: $250

Total: $47,160 (Guess)

When things are bundled in packages it doesn't quite work like that though...plus the brakes are LPO, meaning you still get the factory brakes on the regular SS. The 1LE will just have the one set...all that stuff saves money. I still say, and hope it comes in around $43,000 or so. That will make it a $5000-$5500 package. I figure it will be around that, as the Z51 package, which is similar, on the C7 is $5000.

People thinking 5k or less are going to be very upset. ELSD, Recaro, MRC, NPP, big wheels and tires, 6 piston brakes, HUD plus all the little things... On a v8, I originally thought 5995 but am thinking 6995 the more I think about it.

Even 7 grand isn't terrible, especially for what you get...

BUT, 5 grand would be much nicer since last year it was a $3500 package, regardless of changes.

Hopefully we will know soon...

[Bhobbs]

I would pay $8k for a 1LE plus non MRC option haha.

[Sledgehammer70]

Any thinking $5k is going to get very mad. If GM shipped all of the offering for $5K as a 2SS owner I would stab a fool.

Price of being an early adopter. Things like that happen all of the time.

With the parts bin Chevy has, I think $5-6k is very reasonable. Again, there's only so high you can push this package's price and get sales without making the car its own model, as in the Shelby's.
