2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE - The Curve Ball

My thoughts on today's announcement. I don't think anyone saw it coming. I also know my sources are pretty good now

I am not saying I saw this coming, but we did know that a more track oriented car was coming, and it was rumored to have a supercharged engine, many thinking it was the LT4. It all makes sense now.

It lost the mag ride and sunroof, but what about other things like ventilated seats, lane passing warning system, dual AC zones, homelink, etc?

Think it is loaded like the regular non 1LE ZL1. The mag ride has been replaced with the spool valve dampers, which are adjustable as well. Everything should be there, unlike the 5th gen Z28 which stripped everything out like the AC.

Interior appointments have been unchanged, except:

-- fixed-back rear seat
-- thinner rear glass

The DSSV dampers are adjustable geometrically for front ride height, and camber, etc. But they are not dynamically adjustable for ride stiffness, like Mag Ride is.
