This gives you the best value, it already includes magnetic ride control, big brakes, dual mode exhaust, and comes with the best Camaro wheels GM has ever produced—easily the most desirable SS configuration for your future buyer. The absolute, very best value is likely only attainable with the manual trans, but the automatic also works very well.

You can't really add any serious exterior options (such as splitters, spoilers, ground effects or side skirts) if you go 1LE, however, small tchotchkes such as fender badges and the black or carbon fiber fuel door are still worth it.

In terms of interior, every OEM option (except for the performance data recorder) can be added after the fact as you see fit, but if you're concerned these parts will go away soon, load her up with the carbon fiber dash panel, alloy sport pedals, console lid with the heritage logo, suede knee pads, illuminated footwells, and also throw in the cargo net so the trunk doesn't feel neglected. I'd get the navigation option as well, but won't mention it because of the local google maps/waze army itching to jump on anyone that wants DIC and HUD integrated, always available navigation.

The price will be pretty hefty for an SS, but if you don't mod the car and take good care of it, you should be able to recoup the cost and maybe even more when you throw her to the curb down the road.

Exactly this in Red Hot!

As Arpad said, if you don't mod it and take care of it you'll get more of it back. I don't know about fully recouping the cost, but I paid $41k OTD for my 2018 1SS 1LE. I've taken good care of it, garage kept, haven't tracked it. KBB says it's worth around $35 in a private sale, that's with 69,000 on the clock.
