Buyers of the 1LE will likely buy and keep the car for a long time so secondary value means diddly and squat to them. |

You can clearly see that was before we knew what the 1LE package even was. His price estimate was assuming the 6 piston brakes, MRC and recaros would all be options.
That guess had to be a long time ago because we have known the basic 1LE 'package' for months now. |

Most folks (myself included) tend to get all caught up in the cool specs of a track focused car but like you mentioned if the car is not going to be driven at its limit then why do you need E-diff, more grip from track tires that only last 12k miles, track tuned MRC, vinyl hood wrap designed to reduce glare, etc.? All of these things are designed to get you around a track faster. I can't even come close to utilizing the potential of a base SS on the street. That said, if you just think it looks cool and have to have it then that works too!

Really? Did you read the post and look at the date? That was from the old speculation thread before we had any idea of what the car would contain. Basically a wish list of sorts. Hence why I said MRC, Recaros, and 6 pistions as an option. So, if anything, taking that into account would make for an even higher price.
Exactly. It didn't take much to figure that out. |

Sounds stupid I guess, but while I like the 1LE I also want to be able to drive it in cold weather on clear days. I don't see all seasons for 305/30-20. Bummer.

Do the Recaros by any chance recline further back than the stock seats?.....It would sure be a nice feature if the Recaros did more of a full recline....With my 5thGen and a helmet for tracking, reclining the stock seat is a must for me....
With the 6thGen, I will have to actually try it out with the helmet on...lol...as the stock seats don't recline as much as the 5th....Hopefully Recaros recline more on the 1LE.. If anyone knows, thanks.... |

You would want to go 285/30R20's all around to get a good all season performance tire. I think I'm going to go with a second set of 20x10 or 10.5's so I can rotate my all seasons. But you could just installed the 285's on the stock rims. I have heard good things about Continental DSW06s

Seems like a good deal to me... not sure how people expected options that normally cost $2-3k on their own (eDiff, MRC/NPP, Recaros and wheels/tires) to come in at 5k or under.
The only thing I'd want from the 1LE on my 2SS are the Recaros, but ventilated ones. I rather like a mechanical LSD and with the wheel and suspension upgrades, my car is plenty responsive and handles well enough for my needs. If I was buying one right now, I would seriously consider it... it's pretty much the ultimate factory SS. Unless the Z28 uses a new, more powerful, NA LTx then it's the ultimate factory Camaro without going to forced induction. I'm sure a few good upgrades to the LT1 will push it over 500HP without any issues - what more does one need?

I will say this...
My 2016 1LT is my first Camaro. Given a career change and that it was the most enjoyable economical daily driver and that as pay rate increases over the next few years (I'm a unionized Ironworker apprentice)...a 1LE either this generation or the next. Will be in my future. That's where this car stands. Daily driver track package is what this guy wants. Can I build it for less though? Tough call on that!
