And if you get super hooked there is the 1LE.

I can say I had a memorable track day with a stock 2011 LS3 Camaro with only some bushings and sway bars added. The racing pro driving that Camaro was running down a few Corvettes with that humble Camaro. So I am 100% sure the LT1 will be even better. Way better.

So other than some shiny track baubles and some luxury items, what is the LT1 missing? And to me it is better looking car than the current SS.
A lot of mustang tuners will say the same, the non pp1 cars are better for high power boosted builds. You want the 3.15 auto and 3.55 manual rear end ratios in boosted cars. For straight line stuff anyways.
