How much are we really talking about per car? How much do you want to remove until it's all show and no go. Everyone seems to mention the coolers as an annoyance, what is that really $1k-2k?.
When they discontinued the car, i kind of put it into weekend car status since at the time it seemed this would be the last ICE manual Camaro ever. After 50kmiles of DD, taking the kids here and there. I'm glad there's talk of a 7th gen, but if it doesn't equal the ss 1le, i'm not buying it.

Save all the track goodies for the 1LE package and leave all that stuff off the SS. You, me and everyone else are in the minority when it comes to actually tracking the car. There’s no reason for the SS to have all the coolers when 99% of them aren’t going to see a track. Larger rear brakes are completely unnecessary as well. With how much cars cost these days, I’ll take 1-3k off over having stuff that I’m (the general public buying cars) not going to use.
The bones of the car is still going to be there to match the SS 1LE (and probably surpass it) since it’s going to be built on the alpha 2 chassis. That’s what matters the most for building a good sports car.
