Good discussion guys, thanks. Also I may have casually seen a black 1LE and not noticed the matte hood. And when driving in traffic it is hard to put a good eyeball on every car.
The previous two cars before my 1LE were heavily modified for more power and better handling. One was nice but never really got to the potential I had hoped for in handling because it is no small task to select components that work together optimally. The other became rather freakish to drive but was used up at 75,000 miles.
My 2018 1LE has in my opinion superb parts, optimally tuned factory tuned suspension. Unless you really know suspension you would never get to this level buying parts and bolting them on, or at least you would go through a few sets of springs, shocks, coil-overs, sway bars, bushings, etc. to get close to this level.
And the LT1 motor is darn nice as delivered. If I can learn to use all the 455 horses and the good torque I will be doing great. I expect the aftermarket to offer more accesories and parts for the LT1 after it has been out a couple more years. The LS2 to LS7 have plenty of aftermarket go fast goodies. It is an expensive upgrade to the ZL1 with it's supercharged powerplant, and we have the suspension already. The 1LE is pretty much the ideal package for me.
