However, the last generation 1LE did not change the car's ride-height, BUT...if you look real closely at spy pictures and videos, it appears that the car is lower to the ground than a stock SS. This could be my eyes playing wishful tricks on me...though, if that's the case, Mag Ride will almost certainly not be an available option when "1LE" is equipped.

If this is the case, folks who must desperately have MagRide will almost certainly be able to get an SS equipped with the magic shocks, and modify it's base suspension components, wheels, and brakes, etc to get closer to a 1LE's level of performance.

Food for thought...You really can't loose...
considering the price of the new forged wheels alone, it would probably be cheaper ( though more of a pain in the ass) to retrofit MRC

This would require some plumbing work and hacking the ECU/Driver Control Centre to re-enable the menu and controls for the dampers.

In either case.... we will know in 8 days or so what GM has chosen and these discussions will become moot.


Really hope the Recaro's and the suede trim makes a return, I wont buy one with the stock seats. The Shelby 350GT Recaros are amazing but good luck buying them in aftermarket for less than an arm and a leg.
