This is only a wild guess... but maybe such a car will cannibalize ATS-V sales. The 2SS is already close enough that many people will be swayed - add the e-diff, better wheel/tire package, Recaros,...

Good educated guess. I can see that happening... people tend to forget that even a 1 second gap on a 2 minute track is a lot!

I could see that happening... the GT350 base and TP lap times should be somewhere around gen5 ZL1 lap times. I will be very surprised and formally apologize to the 1LE team for doubting them if the...

I think there's some wishful thinking regarding the 1LE getting within 2 seconds of Z/28 (and the GT350R by extension) simply because those cars have MUCH stickier tires and serious aero.

I think...

That's very good info... I knew they (or anyone else) wouldn't have used MRC for these (track) cars if it didn't actually improve performance.

Although that might be a bit too low...

I believe people that saw/sat in them are saying that they're actually narrower. It's really hard to judge seats just by looking at them, and different people will prefer different seats... I like...

The 1SS/1LE wheels are slightly smaller in overall diameter... I think shorter springs would require more extensive suspension re-engineering, and that would have cost extra money that they would...

I would be VERY VERY VERY surprised if the 1LE comes close to GTR/GT350R/Z28 lap times... those cars come with the stickiest tires available, and suspension setups to handle all that grip. I think if...

Yeah, that was part of the transmission upgrade... the gears are nowhere near as far apart, not to mention the first and final ratios are identical (same spread), as just sticking a much lower geared...

Maybe we're misunderstanding each other; before gen6 came out there wasn't a big difference between the overall gearing of the SS and 1LE - the 3.91:1 rear was there to compensate for the new...

I meant that the gen5 1LE has about the same overall gearing as the standard gen5 SS... the LT1 has a very different torque curve, so the lower ratios won't necessarily make the gen6 car faster on a...

The new SS is geared perfectly. The gen5 1LE used an updated transmission from the Zxx cars, so a different diff ratio was required to make everything work.

The LPO 6 piston Brembos aren't drilled, they're slotted. Slots tend to wear pads at a faster rate than clean rotors, but they're not prone to cracking like drilled rotors are. Slotted rotors are...

Probably because it has actual track benefits... doesn't seem like they cared much about giving us the most GT version of the 1LE in other areas.

Very interesting. Seems like this will be a killer factory track toy! Not disappointed that I didn't wait for it though, as I wanted the features from the 2SS.

I read on cnet that the V6 will be...
