I think the fact that the new SS is already beating the old 1LE on the test track is quite telling. The SS is a street car; period. They've really upped the ante on performance if the new regular street car is beating the previous gen track pack car on the track.

At this point a new 1LE package would most likely be fine tuning items. Some aero pieces, gearing changes for trans and diff, better seating and belts, modified performance programs for the computer, 6 piston front brakes, 19x10 wheels all the way around, etc. I would like to see even 19x11 with wheel well extensions ala Z/28. Instead of using heavy expensive Recaros, I think they should design their own light-weight high performance seat which can be shared between the 1LE package and the Z/28.

I don't know if they'd go with MR shocks or a less expensive version of the DSSV shocks the Z has. They could basically make the new 1LE be the gap car between the SS and the Z/28 for those who want to do road course; sharing some of the features but not hardcore; slightly more expensive than the SS but significantly less expensive than the Z/28. The new hardcore Z/28 is going to be ferocious.
